[G]

[Verse 1]
I was born [G]in New York City,

[Verse 2]
[D]Ain't it funky now[G]?
[D]Ooh, ain't it funky [G]now?

[Verse 3]
Me [G]father from Jamaica,
[D]my mother from the South
[C]It opened up my eyes and ears and
[G]made me shut my mouth
Daddy died and left mom[D]ma

[C]She picked herself up and star
[G]ted working in the town
Oh [C]life ain't [G]all perfect
Ooh[D]h

Big fine mama,
[D]you turn my lamp light down

You make me feel good,
[D]you make my body sound
[C]Life with you is [G]harmony
[D]

[Verse 6]
Ain't it funky [G]now?[D]

[Verse 7]
I will not [G]live in your city,
I will [D]not live in your town
I will [C]live in the country [G]where
there's grass and trees around
And dig the sun coming up and dig
[D]that moon going down
[C]And stand out there on some
[G]dark country ground
[C]Life has been [G]beautiful
[D]

[C]Oh life to me has bee[G]n beautiful
