Next, repeat chorus (C#, Eb, C, F) as the song fades out and that's it! You can
also play octaves or otherwise improvise throughout the song to give it more of a
disco sound. i.e.:
G|--------------------------------|
D|---3---3---3---3---3---3---3---3|
A|--------------------------------|
E|-1---1---1---1---1---1---1---1--|
Have fun with it.....
