Hey guys!
This is Stevie Wonder's MasterBlaster (jammin') a great, and simple, song.
UPDATE: 28/3/08: Fixed some lesser mistakes
So, as you probably know, the song starts out with some drums. Then the guitar and bass
like this:
[Intro]
| E | |
| H | |
| G | |
| D | 10 10 10 10 8 8 6 6 6 6 5 5 |
| A | 10 10 10 10 8 8 6 6 6 6 5 5 |
| E | 8 8 8 8 6 6 4 4 4 4 3 |
| E | |
| H | |
| G | |
| D | 3 3 3 3 3 3 10 10 8 8 |
| A | 3 3 3 3 3 3 10 10 8 8 |
| E | 1 1 1 1 1 1 8 8 6 6 |
After doing this one time, the bass keeps grooving that ^ while the guitar shifts to this
[Verse]
| E | 8 8 6 4 4 3 1 1 1 8 6 |
| H | x x x x x x x x x x x |
| G | 8 8 6 7 4 5 4 5 3 4 1 2 1 2 1 2 8 6 7 |
| D | |
| A | |
| E | |
At 0.41 there's some sort of solo that is actually not played with a guitar, but it's
easy and sounds just as good:
[Solo-thing]
| E | 11 8 | 8 13 15 11 |
| H | 13 9 | 10 13 |
| G | 12 8 | 10 12 |
| D | 13 10 | |
| A | | |
| E | | |
Then the verse finally begins, and the guitar goes back to the verse-riff:
[Verse 0.55]
Everyone's feeling pretty..
| E | 8 8 6 4 4 3 1 1 1 8 6 |
| H | x x x x x x x x x x x |

| D | | x 2 |
| A | |
| E | |

| E | 8 6 1 |
| H | 8 6 1 |
| G | 8 6 7 1 2 |

After the chorous he's says something that ends with 'come on!' and then somekind of
