A while back I requested a TAB of this song, but got no response. I'll post
a couple of alternative TABs for the main riff the way I play it, then I'll
give you the lyrics. Note that these TABs are imperfect, but they are a
reasonable approximation. If anyone has a better way to play this, PLEASE
send it in!
The song is really just two riffs: Riff 1 is played with all the verses,
and Riff 2 is played during the chorus. I'll give Riff 1, and I'll work out
Riff 2 sometime soon, unless someone scoops me. The solo is not difficult,
so I'll also work out the TAB for that when I have time.

Lyrics (Obtained by listening--not from a book. Questionable parts are in
brackets. I have no idea what he says at the end of verse 2, so I just
filled in with something approximate. Once again, if anyone finds mistakes
here, please correct me.)
ALL RIGHT NOW - Free (1970)
There she stood in the street
Smilin' from her head to her feet.
I said hey what is this now baby maybe
Maybe she's in need of a kiss.
I said a-hey, what's your name baby?
Maybe we can see things the same.
Now don't you wait, don't hesitate
Let's move before they raise the parking rate
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/f/free/all_right_now_tab_ver_9.html ]
(CHORUS)
All right now, baby it's all right now
All right now, baby it's all right now
Let me tell you now, mmm...
I took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face.
She said look, what's your game baby?
Are you tryin to put me in shame?
I said slow, don't go so fast
Don't you think that love can last?
She said love, Lord above,
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love.
CHORUS
SOLO
Let me tell you all about it now...
Took her home to my place
Watching every move on her face.
She said look, what's your game?
Are you tryin to put me in shame?
Baby I said slow, slow, don't go so fast
Don't you think that love can last?
She said love, Lord above,
Now you're tryin' to trick me in love.
CHORUS (Repeat with vocal improvisations:)
We're so happy together...
Baby, baby, baby it's all right...
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right, everything's all right...
Hope you enjoy this; please send improvements, corrections.
