I'm not lovin' you the way I wanted to
I can't keep my cool, so I keep it true
I got somethin to lose, so I gotta move
I can't keep myself, and still keep you too
So I keep in mind, when I'm on my own
Somewhere far from home, in the danger zone
How many times did I tell ya fo it finally got through
You lose, you lose
I'm not lovin' you, the way I wanted to
See I had to go, see I had to move
No more wastin' time, you can't wait for life
We're just racin' time, where's the finish line

I know I said I'm through, but got love for you
But I'm not lovin' you, the way I wanted to
Gotta keep it goin', keep the lovin' goin'
Keep it on a roll, only God knows
If I be with you, baby I'm confused
You choose, you choose
I'm not lovin' you, the way I wanted to
Where I wanna go, I don't need you
I've been down this road, too many times before
I'm not lovin' you, the way I wanted to

Should have known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open
Why were they open? (Ooh)

Throw my hand on a blade for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)

You know I'd do anything for ya (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, oh, I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Verse 2: Am Am Em Em (E7)

Yeah, you'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car

Where's my snare?
F E Am
I have no snare in my headphones
Am E Am E
There you go, yeah
F E Am
yo, yo
[Verse 1]
Am E
Have you ever been hated or discriminated against?
Am E
I have, I've been protested and demonstrated against
F E
Picket signs for my wicked rhymes, look at the times
Am
Sick is the mind of the motherfuckin' kid that's behind
Am E
All this commotion, emotions run deep as oceans, explodin'
Am E
Tempers flarin' from parents, just blow 'em off and keep goin'
F E
Not takin' nothin' from no one, give 'em hell long as I'm breathin'
Am
Keep kickin' ass in the morning and takin' names in the evenin'
Am E
Leave 'em with the taste as sour as vinegar in they mouth
Am E
See, they can trigger me, but they'll never figure me out
F E
Look at me now! I bet you're prob'ly sick of me now
Am E
Ain't you, Mama? I'ma make you look so ridiculous now!
[Chorus]
Am E
I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)
E Am E
I said I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am E
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (Ha!)
[Verse 2]
Am
I got some skeletons in my closet
E
And I don't know if no one knows it
Am E
So before they throw me inside my coffin and close it
F E
I'ma expose it; I'll take you back to '73
Am
Before I ever had a multi-platinum-selling CD
Am E
I was a baby, maybe I was just a couple of months
Am E
My faggot father must've had his panties up in a bunch
F E
‘Cause he split, I wonder if he even kissed me goodbye
Am
No, I don't, on second thought, I just fuckin' wished he would die
Am E
I look at Hailie, and I couldn't picture leavin' her side
Am E
Even if I hated Kim, I'd grit my teeth and I'd try
F E
To make it work with her at least for Hailie's sake
I maybe made some mistakes
Am
But I'm only human, but I'm man enough to face 'em today
Am E
What I did was stupid, no doubt it was dumb
Am E
But the smartest shit I did was take the bullets out of that gun
F E
‘Cause I'da killed 'em, shit, I woulda shot Kim and him both
Am
It's my life, I'd like to welcome y'all to The Eminem Show
[Chorus]
Am E
I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry

But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)
E Am E
I said I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am E
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (uh)
[Verse 3]
Am E
Now, I would never diss my own mama just to get recognition
Am E
Take a second to listen 'fore you think this record is dissin'
F E
But put yourself in my position, just try to envision
Am
Witnessin' your mama poppin' prescription pills in the kitchen
Am E
in' that someone's always goin' through her purse and shit's missin'
Am E
Goin' through public housing systems victim of Münchausen's Syndrome
F E
My whole life I was made to believe I was sick when I wasn't
Am
'Til I grew up, now I blew up it makes you sick to your stomach, doesn't it?
Am E
Wasn't it the reason you made that CD for me, Ma?
Am E
So you could try to justify the way you treated me, Ma?
F E
But guess what, you're gettin' older now and it's cold when you're lonely
Am
And Nathan's growin' up so quick he's gonna know that you're phony
Am E
And Hailie's gettin' so big now, you should see her, she's beautiful
Am E
But you'll never see her-she won't even be at your funeral (ha-ha!)
F E
See, what hurts me the most is you won't admit you was wrong
Am
, do your song, keep tellin' yourself that you was a mom!
Am E
But how dare you try to take what you didn't help me to get?!
Am E
You selfish , I hope you fuckin' burn in hell for this shit!
F E
Remember when Ronnie died and you said you wished it was me?
Am
Well, guess what, I am dead-dead to you as can be!
[Chorus]
Am E
I'm sorry, Mama
Am E
I never meant to hurt you
F
I never meant to make you cry
E Am
But tonight I'm cleanin' out my closet (One more time!)

Damn, I'm surprised that you called

Since you didn't wanna give me your math
I thought that you were iggin' me, and wasn't diggin' me
But, anyway, what you doing tonight?
I'll probably be with my peeps, if it's cool with you, maybe we'll swing by

Long as you're comfortable and you feel secure when you're with me, 'cause

If her hair was still red.

Soon to be divorced
A G6
I helped her out of a jam, I guess,

But I used a little too much force.
A G6
We drove that car as far as we could
A G6
Abandoned it out West
A G6
Split up on a dark sad night
D
Both agreeing it was best.
E F#m
She turned around to look at me

A G6
I had a job in the great north woods
A G6
Working as a cook for a spell
A G6
But I never did like it all that much
D
And one day the ax just fell.
A G6
So I drifted down to New Orleans
A G6
Where I happened to be employed
A G6
Workin' for a while on a fishin' boat

Right outside of Delacroix.

She was workin' in a topless place

And I stopped in for a beer,
A G6
I just kept lookin' at the side of her face
D
In the spotlight so clear.
A G6
And later on as the crowd thinned out
A G6
I's just about to do the same,
A G6
She was standing there in back of my chair
D
Said to me, Don't I know your name?
E F#m
I muttered somethin' underneath my breath,

She studied the lines on my face.

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe,

A G6 A G
She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe
A G6
I thought you'd never say hello, she said

You look like the silent type.
A G6
Then she opened up a book of poems
A G6
And handed it to me
A G6
Written by an Italian poet

From the thirteenth century.

I lived with them on Montague Street
A G6
In a basement down the stairs,
A G6
There was music in the cafes at night

And revolution in the air.
A G6
Then he started into dealing with slaves
A G6
And something inside of him died.
A G6
She had to sell everything she owned

And froze up inside.
E F#m
And when finally the bottom fell out
A D
I became withdrawn,

The only thing I knew how to do

So now I'm goin' back again,
A G6
I got to get to her somehow.
A G6
All the people we used to know

They're an illusion to me now.
A G6
Some are mathematicians
A G6
Some are carpenter's wives.
A G6
Don't know how it all got started,
D
I don't know what they're doin' with their lives.
E F#m
But me, I'm still on the road

Lil mama got me feeling like a limit here
Put you in the box just the presidents cigarettes
Give em my regards or regardless I get arrested

Tryna live tryna figure how my sister vanish

Looking for Bmerica, crawling through your schools
I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge, out on another gorgeous sunny Saturday,
I've seen that bumper-to-bumper traffic (CHORUS)

the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps

As he begins to raise his voice
Em7 Dsus4/F# G
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Dsus4/F#
Drive until you lose the road
Em7 Dsus4/F#
Or break with the ones you've followed
G Dsus4/F#
He will do one of two things
Em7 Dsus4/F#
He will admit to everything
G Dsus4/F#
Or he'll say he's just not the same
Em7 Dsus4/F#
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

first chord (G) on the first down strum, and hit the C on the final down strum, and
change chords on the upstroke.
During the chorus Guitar two should play the guitar 2 inro riff over each line of the chorus.

Here's a bit more of a simple way to play it. Once you've got this rhythm then you
can give a try at the tabs (above)
It's seven o' clock on the dot
I'm in my drop top, cruisin' the streets, oh yeah
I gotta real pretty, pretty little thang that's waiting for me
I pull up
Anticipating good love
Don't keep me waiting
I got plans to put my hands in places
I never seen girl you know what I mean
Let me take you to a place nice and quiet
There ain't no one there to interrupt
Ain't gotta rush
I just want to take it nice and slow
(Now, baby, tell me what you wanna do with me)
See I've been waiting for this for so long
We'll be makin' love until the sun comes up, baby
I just wanna take it nice and slow
(Now, baby, tell me what you wanna do with me)
Now here we are
Drivin' round town
Contemplating where I'm gonna lay you down
Girl you got me sayin'
My, my, my (my)
I wish that I (I)
Could pull over
And get this thing started right now
I wanna do something freaky to you baby
I don't think they heard me
I, I wanna do something freaky to you baby
So call out my name
They call me U-S-H-E-R-R-A-Y-M-O-N-D
Now, baby, tell me what you wanna do with me
Got a nigga fiendin' like Jodeci
Every time that you roll with me, holdin' me
Tryin' to get control of me, nice and slowly
You know, never lettin' go
Never messin' up the flow
This is how the hook go, come on
Let me take you to a place (that's right) nice and quiet
There ain't no one there to interrupt
Ain't gotta rush
I just want to take it nice and slow
(Now, baby, tell me what you wanna do with me)
See I've been waiting for this for so long
We'll be makin' love until the sun comes up, baby
I just wanna take it nice and slow
(Now, baby, tell me what you wanna do with me)
Now tell me
Do you wanna get freaky, 'cause
I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you like no one has ever, ever made you feel
I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you right I will
I'll freak you, freak you like no one has ever made you feel, yeah
(Now, baby, tell me what you wanna do with me)
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I'm packed and I'm Holding, I'm smiling,
She's living, she's golden and she lives for me
She says she lives for me. Ovation.
She's got her own motivation
She comes around and she goes down on me
And I make her smile like a drug for you
Do ever what you want to do
Coming over you
Keep on smiling, what we go through
One stop to the rhythm that divides you
D / C / D / C /
And I speak to you like the chorus to the verse
Chop another link like a coda with a curse
And I come on like a freak show takes the stage
We give them the games we play, she said
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye
The sky it was gold, it was rose
I was taking sips of it through my nose
And I wish I could get back there
Some place back there
Smiling in the pictures you would take
Doing crystal myth will lift you up until you break
It won't stop I won't come down
I keep stock with a tick-tock rhythm and a bump for the drop
And then I bumped up
I took the hit that I was given
Then I bumped again
And then I bumped again
D / C / D / C /
How do I get back there to
The place where I dell asleep inside you?
How do I get myself back to
The place where you said
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye
I believe in the sand beneath my toes
The beach gives a feeling
An earthy feeling
I believe in the faith that grows
And the four right chords can make me cry
When I'm with you I feel like I could die
And that would be all right
All right
D / C / D / C /
When the plance came in
She said she was crashing
The velvet it rips in the city we tripped
On the urge to feel alive
But now I'm struggling to survive
The days you were wearing
That velvet dress
You're the priestess
I must confess
Those little red panties
They pass the test
Slide up around the belly
Face down on the matress
G / D / C / D /
One now you hold me
And we're broken
Still it's all that I want to do
GGGGGG.. DDDDDD.. CCCC..CC CC..CCCC
Feel myself with a head made of the ground
I'm scared but I'm not coming down
No, no, no
And I won't run for my life
She's got her jaws just locked now in smile
But nothing is all right
All right
I want something else
To get me through this
Semi-charmed kind of life
I want something else
I'm not listening when you say Goodbye...

Lyrics-
said a hip hop
the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop the rock it
to the bang bang boogie, say up jumped the boogie
to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat
now what you hear is not a test--i'm rappin to the beat
and me, the groove, and my friends are gonna try to move your feet
see i am wonder mike and i like to say hello
to the black, to the white, the red, and the brown, the purple and yellow
but first i gotta bang bang the boogie to the boogie
say up jump the boogie to the bang bang boogie
let's rock, you dont stop
rock the riddle that will make your body rock
well so far you've heard my voice but i brought two friends along
and next on the mike is my man hank
come on, hank, sing that song
check it out, i'm the c-a-s-an-the-o-v-a
and the rest is f-l-y
ya see i go by the code of the doctor of the mix
and these reasons i'll tell ya why
ya see i'm six foot one and i'm tons of fun
and i dress to a T
ya see i got more clothes than muhammad ali and i dress so viciously
i got bodyguards, i got two big cars
that definitely ain't the wack
i got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac
so after school, i take a dip in the pool
which really is on the wall
i got a color tv so i can see
the knicks play basketball
hear me talkin bout checkbooks, credit cards
more money than a sucker could ever spend
but i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker
not a dime till i made it again
everybody go, hotel motel
what you're gonna do today (say what)
cause i'm going to get a fly girl, gonna get some spanking drive off off in a fresh oj.
go hotel, motel, holiday inn
say if your girl starts actin up, then you take her friend
master g, my mellow
its on you so what you gonna do
well it's on n on n on on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
i said m-a-s, t-e-r, a g with a double e
i said i go by the unforgettable name
of the man they call the master gee
well, my name is known all over the world
by all the foxy ladies and the pretty girls
i'm goin down in history
as the baddest rapper there ever could be
now i'm feelin the highs and ya feelin the lows
the beat starts gettin into your toes
ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet
and movin your body while youre sittin in your seat
and the damn ya start doin the freak
i said damn, right outta your seat
then ya throw your hands high in the air
ya rockin to the rhythm, shake your derriere
ya rockin to the beat without a care
with the sureshot m.c.s for the affair
now, im not as tall as the rest of the gang
but i rap to the beat just the same
i dot a little face and a pair of brown eyes
all im here to do ladies is hypnotize
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on
like a hot buttered a pop da pop da pop dibbie dibbie
pop da pop pop ya dont dare stop
come alive yall gimme what ya got
i guess by now you can take a hunch
and find that i am the baby of the bunch
'but that's okay i still keep in stride
cause all i'm here to do is just wiggle your behind
singin on n n on n on n on
the beat dont stop until the break of dawn
singin on n n on n on on n on

a-come alive, yall a-gimme what ya got
cause im guaranteed to make you rock
i said 1-2-3-4 tell me wonder mike what are you waitin for?
i said hip hop the hippie to the hippie

to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
skiddlee beebop a we rock a scoobie doo
and guess what america we love you
cause ya rocked and a rolled with so much soul
you could rock till you're a hundred and one years old
i dont mean to brag i don't mean to boast
but we like hot butter on our breakfast toast
rock it up a baby bubbah
baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang da boogie
to the beat beat, its so unique
come on everybody and dance to the beat
a hip hop
the hippie the hippie to the
hip hip hop, a you dont stop rock it
rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang
the boogie to the boogie da beat
i said i cant wait til the end of the week
when im rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
and attempt to raise your body heat
just blow your mind so that you can't speak
and do a thing bout a rock and shuffle your feet
and let it change up to a dance called the freak
and when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
rest a little while so ya don't get weak
i know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong
well, im imp the dimp the ladies pimp
the women fight for my delight
but im the grandmaster with the three mc's
that shock the house for the young ladies
and when you come inside, into the front
you do the freak, spank, and do the bump
and when the sucker mc's try to prove a point
[ Tab from- http://www.guitaretab.com/t/the-sugarhill-gang/128630.html ]
we're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
a from sun to sun and from day to day
i sit down and write a brand new rhyme
because they say that miracles never cease
i've created a devastating masterpiece
i'm gonna rock the mike till you cant resist
everybody, i say it goes like this
well i was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that i'm vicious on the mike and the turntable
this young reporter i did adore
so i rocked some vicious rhymes like i never did before
she said damn fly guy im in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
i said by the way baby what's your name
said i go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it
an i'm here an i'm there i'm big bang hank, im everywhere
just throw your hands up in the air
and party hardy like you just dont care
let's do it don't stop yall a tick a tock yall you don't stop
go hotel motel what you gonna do today (say what)
im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spank drive off in a def oj
everybody go hotel motel holiday inn
you say if your girl starts actin up then you take her friend
i say skip, dive, what can i say
i can't fit em all inside my oj
so i just take half and bust them out
i give the rest to master gee so he could shock the house
it was twelve o'clock one friday night
i was rockin to the beat and feelin all right
everybody was dancin on the floor
doin all the things they never did before
and then this fly fly girl with a sexy lean
she came into the bar, she came into the scene
she traveled deeper inside the room
all the fellas checked out her white sasoons
she came up to the table, looked into my eyes
then she turned around and shook her behind
so i said to myself, its time for me to release
my vicious rhyme i call my masterpiece
and now people in the house this is just for you
a little rap to make you boogaloo
now the group ya hear is called phase two
and let me tell ya somethin we're a hell of a crew
once a week we're on the street
just a-cuttin' the jams and making it free
for you to party ya got to have the movies
so we'll get right down and give you the groove
for you to dance you gotta get hype
so we'll get right down for you tonight
now the system's on and the girls are there
ya definitely have a rockin affair
but let me tell ya somethin there's still one fact
and to have a party ya got to have a rap
so when the party's over you're makin it home
and tryin to sleep before the break of dawn
and while ya sleepin ya start to dream
and thinkin how ya danced on the disco scene
my name appears in your mind
yeah, a name you know that was right on time
it was phase two just a doin a do
rockin ya down cause ya know we could
to the rhythm of the beat that makes ya freak
come alive girls get on your feet
to the rhythm of the beat to the beat the beat
to the double beat beat that it makes ya freak
to the rhythm of the beat that says ya go on
on n on into the break of dawn
now i got a man comin on right now
he's guaranteed to throw down
he goes by the name of wonder mike
come on wonder mike do what ya like
i say a can of beer that's sweeter than honey
like a millionaire that has no money
like a rainy day that is not wet
like a gamblin fiend that does not bet
like dracula with out his fangs
like the boogie to the boogie without the boogie bang
like collard greens that dont taste good
like a tree that's not made out of wood
like goin up and not comin down
is just like the beat without the sound no sound
to the beat beat, ya do the freak
everybody just rock and dance to the beat
have you ever went over a friends house to eat
and the food just ain't no good
i mean the macaroni's soggy the peas are mushed
and the chicken tastes like wood
so you try to play it off like you think you can
by sayin that youre full
and then your friend says momma he's just being polite
he ain't finished uh uh that's bull
so your heart starts pumpin and you think of a lie
and you say that you already ate
and your friend says man there's plenty of food
so you pile some more on your plate
while the stinky foods steamin your mind starts to dreamin
of the moment that it's time to leave
and then you look at your plate and your chickens slowly rottin
into something that looks like cheese
oh so you say that's it i got to leave this place
i dont care what these people think
im just sittin here makin myself nauseous
with this ugly food that stinks
so you bust out the door while its still closed
still sick from the food you ate
and then you run to the store for quick relief
from a bottle of kaopectate
and then you call your friend two weeks later
to see how he has been
and he says i understand about the food
baby bubbah but we're still friends
with a hip hop the hippie to the hippie
the hip hip a hop a you don't stop the rockin
to the bang bang boogie
say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie the beat
i say hank can ya rock
can ya rock to the rhythm that just don't stop
can ya hip me to the shoobie doo
i said come on make the make the people move
i go to the halls and then ring the bell
because i am the man with the clientele
and if ya ask me why i rock so well
a big bang, i got clientele
and from the time i was only six years old
i never forgot what i was told
it was the best advice that i ever had
it came from my wise dear old dad
he said sit down punk i wanna talk to you
and don't say a word until im through
now there's a time to laugh a time to cry
a time to live and a time to die
a time to break and a time to chill
to act civilized or act real ill
but whatever ya do in your lifetime
ya never let a mc steal your rhyme
so from six to six til this very day
ill always remember what he had to say
so when the sucker mc's try to chump my style
i let them know that i'm versatile
i got style finesse and a little black book
that's filled with rhymes and i know you wanna look
but the thing that separates you from me
and that's called originality
because my rhymes are on from what you heard
i didnt even bite and not a go word
and i say a little more later on tonight
so the suker mc's can bite all night
a tick a tock yall a beat beat yall
a lets rock yall ya don't stop
ya go hotel motel whatcha gonna do today (say what)
ya say im gonna get a fly girl gonna get some spankin

well like johnny carson on the late show
a like frankie croker in stereo

the brother who rocks so viciously
i said the age of one my life begun
at the age of two i was doin the do
at the age of three it was you and me
rockin to the sounds of the master gee
at the age of four i was on the floor
givin all the freaks what they bargained for
at the age of five i didnt take no jive
with the master gee its all the way live
at the age of six i was a pickin up sticks

i gotta run on down to the beat you see

I need that girl beside me when the lights go out

Time__, why you punish me
Like a wave crashing into the shore
You wash away my dreams
Time__, why you walk away
Like a friend with somewhere to go
You left me crying
Asus2
Can you teach me about tommorow
G D Em D Em
and all the pain and sorrow, running free
Em Asus A
Cause tomorrow's just another day
D Em etc
And I don't believe in time
Time__, I don't understand
Chidren killing in the streets
Dying for the color of a rag
Time__, hey there red and blue
Wash them in the ocean make them clean
Maybe their mothers won't cry tonight
Will you teach me about tommorow
When all the pain and sorrow, running free
But tomorrow's just another day
And I don't believe in

Time is wasting

Time is walking

You ain't no friend of mine

You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm going
Think I'm out of my mind
Thinking about time
Time__, you left me standing there
Like a tree growing all alone
The wind just stripped me bare, stripped me bare
Time__, the past has come and gone
The future's far away
But now only lasts for one second, one second
Can you teach me about tommorow
And all the pain and sorrow, running free
Cause tommorow's just another day
And I don't believe in
Time is wasting
Time is walking
You ain't no friend of mine
I don't know where I'm going
Think I'm out of my mind {keep playing Ds and Ems}
Walking, wasted
You ain't no friend of mine

At this point an acoustic guitar enters strumming the chords. From this
point on, one of the electrics plays the riff during the verses, the part
shown above during the bridges, and strums the chords during the choruses
(Time is wasting..) and solo. The second electric plays the occasional
power chord during verses and bridges and strums along to the choruses.
It also takes the solo-
