Chords with lyrics
This is just my interpretation of the acoustic version of this tune. I pretty much use syncopated rhythms
throughout the song. I know that it's not perfect but I hope that you like it.
Intro: (I do it differently every time but this is basically what I go with.)
DmDm GM GM FF F FF F
[Chorus:]
DmDm Bb majorBb
Motownphilly's back again
G minorGm C majorC A augmentedA
Doin' a little east coast fling
DmDm FF DmDm
Boyz II Men going off

Not too hard, not too soft
FF DmDm
It's long overdue but now

Philly is slammin'
C majorC Bb majorBb
Boyz II Men, ABC, BBD
A augmentedA
The east coast family
DmDm
Never skipped a beat, na
While cooling on South street
E minorEm C majorC
Jet black Benz, plenty of friends
A augmentedA
And all the Philly steaks you could eat
DmDm
Back in school we used to dream about this everyday
A augmentedA G+G C majorC A minorAm
Could it really happen? Or do dreams fade away
DmDm FF
Then we started singing them
A augmentedA
They said it sounded smooth
Bb majorBb A minorAm
So we started a group and here we are

Kickin' it just for you
[Chorus]

The spotlight is on us now

So now the world will know that we were

So we started a group and here we are
C majorC A augmentedA
Kickin' it just for you
