John Butler Trio - Funky Tonight Chords & Tabs

Tabbed by: Robs


Tuning is EBEBEG# (CGCGCE with capo 4th fret)

(Don't tune you guitar to EBEBEG# directly or you'll break your strings. I know it's 
but ya never know, right?)


intro & verse:

G#|-----------------------------------------------|
 E|---0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0-----0----0---|
 B|---0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0-----0----0---|
 E|---0-----0--3--0----0-----0-----0--5--0----0---|
 B|-5---3h5---------3h-5--2----3h5---------3h-5---|
 E|-----------------------------------------------|


G#|------------------------------------------------|
 E|---0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0------0----0---|
 B|---0-----0-----0----0-----0-----0------0----0---|
 E|---0-----0--3--0----0-----0-----0-5h6p50----0---|
 B|-5---3h5---------3h-5--2----3h5----------3h-5---|
 E|------------------------------------------------|


What's cool about this tuning is that you can play the riff loads of different ways, an 
higher for example:

G#|-----------------------------------------------|
 E|---0-----0--3--0----------0-----0--5--0--------|
 B|-----3h5---------3--5--2----3h5---------3--5---|
 E|-0---------------------------------------------|
 B|-----------------------------------------------|
 E|-----------------------------------------------|


John also does some cool little breaks but I haven't worked those out yet.

That's all for now, I've only just started learning the song but wasn't very convinced 
the tabs I found. Here's my version!
