Kinda pat your feet
You got soul, and everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

When you wake up early in the morning
Bbm Fm
Feelin' sad like so many of us do

Hum a little soul

Make life your goal
Fm Ebm Fm Ebm Ab
And surely something's got to come to you And say it's...

Now everybody clap your hands
Give yourself a chance
You got soul, and everybody knows
That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

Bridge 2:

Someday I'll find me a woman
Who will love and treat me real nice
Then my woe's got to go
And my love, she will know
From morning, noon, and night
And she's got to say it's...

[repeat verse 1]

Coda (guitar as per intro):

Db Gb /Ab Db [repeat]
Now everybody clap your hands
Now give yourselves a chance
You got soul... [fade]
