Title track from Janelle Monáe's awesome second album. Basically it's just Bm A Em F#7
repeated all through the song, but I've included the full lyrics below as well with
timings for when to swap the chords. Let me know any feedback or thoughts!
***********************************************************
Bm A
El-lec-lec-lec-lec-lec-lec-lec-lec-lec-tric
Em F#7
Lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-lay-dy
Bm A
Ooh, you shock it, shake it, baby
Em F#7
Electric lady, you're a star
Bm A
You got a classic kind of crazy
Em F#7
But you know just who you are
Bm A Em
You got the look the Gods agree they wanna see
F#7
All the birds and the bees
Bm
Dancing with the freaks in the trees
A
And watch the water turn to wine
Em
Out in space and out your mind
F#7
Ooh, shock me one good time
Bm A Em
Electric Lady, get way down
F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to
Bm A Em
Electric Lady, get way down
F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to
Bm A
La----dy (baby)

Electric La----dy

Bm A Em
Yeah, I'll reprogram your mind, come on, get in
F#7
My spaceship leaves at ten
Bm A Em
I'm where I wanna be, just you and me
F#7 Bm
Baby, talking on the side, as the world spins around
A
Can you feel your spine unwind,
Em
And watch the water turn to wine?
F#7
Ooh, shock it one good time
Bm A Em
Electric Lady, get way down
F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to
Bm A Em
Electric Lady, get way down
F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to
Bm
Gloss on her lips, glass on the ceiling
A
All the girls showing love while the boys be catching feelings
Em
Once you see her face, her eyes, you'll remember
F#7
And she'll have you falling harder than a Sunday in September
Bm
Whether in Savannah, K-Kansas or in Atlanta
A
She'll walk in any room, have you raising up your antennas
Em
She can fly you straight to the moon or to the ghettos
F#7
Wearing tennis shoes or in flats or in stilettos
Bm
Illuminating all that she touches, eye on the sparrow
A
A modern day Joan of her Arc or Mia Farrow
Em
Classy, sassy, put you in a razzle-dazzy
F#7
Her magnetic energy will have you coming home like Lassie
Bm
Singing, "Ooh, shock it, break it, baby"
A
Electro-, sophisti-, funky, lady
Em
We the kind of girls who ain't afraid to get down
F#7
Electric ladies go on and scream out loud!
Bm A Em
Electric Lady, get way down
F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to
Bm A Em
Electric Lady, get way down
F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to
Bm
Ooh, shock it, break it, baby
A
Electric Lady, Electric Lady
Em
Singin' boom, shock it, break it, baby
F#7
Electric Lady, Electric Lady
