(The funk instrumental section can be played as Dm rhythms all the way through. I included a chord

Charted by Dexex
I write chord charts to show how, as a rhythm guitarist,
I play songs. I don't claim they are the "right" way. They're not
intended to be taken as tabs which notate exactly how a song was played on a recording.
