--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celebration - Kool & The Gang --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Kool & The Gang Celebration (1980) (Kool & The Gang) From: "Celebrate!" The chords in the chorus look confusing over the lyrics. That's why I tabbed these parts out, so it becomes clearer. Listen to this tab: https://db.tt/KajrWt7x Enjoy and do not forget to rate, please! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The original recording is in G#, so: capo 1st fret if you want to play along.
