Original is in C, transpose it +3 or use a capo.
[Intro]
[Verse]
I ve been through all them changes
A lot of stuff came down
I ve dealt with all the issues
You might say I ve been around
But back when I got started
There was a righteous sound
It doesn t matter what I ve been through
N.C.
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
[Chorus]
You know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I m on the same page
Cause one thing that I ve found
N.C.
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
[Verse]
N.C.
I had an attitude adjustment
I did some psycho therapy
I helped myself to some self-help
I dabbled in some ESP
Though my world is ever-changing
And I move from town to town
It doesn t matter where I ve been to
N.C.
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
[Chorus]
You know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I m on the same page
Cause one thing that I ve found
N.C.
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
[Verse]
N.C.
You got your rap and your disco
You got your drum machines
You got your R-rated gangster
You got your grungy scenes
You got your state of the art
You got your digital sound
It doesn t matter where it s going to
N.C.
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
[Bridge]
N.C.
Take it to the bridge
It ll get ya where ya live
When there s water all around
You can still get outta town
N.C.
And still be diggin on James Brown
[Solo Verse]
[Chorus]
You know the more things change
The more they stay the same
It may be a different age
But I m on the same page
Cause one thing that I ve found
N.C.
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
[Ending]
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
I ll still be diggin on James Brown
