 Verse 1 (guitar continues over Db and Gb as per first two bars of intro):

                       Db    Gb   /Ab  Db
         Say it's all right (it's all right)
             Gb   /Ab  Db    Gb   /Ab  Db
         Say it's all right (it's all right)
         Gb   /Ab  Db     Fm         Ebm
         It's all right, have a good time
               Ebm/Ab     Db          Gb   /Ab  Db
         'Cause it's all right, whoa, it's all right

         [1,2: Gb /Ab (to next verse)  3,4: Fm/C (to bridge)]

 Verse 2:

         We're gonna move it slow
         When lights are low
         When you move it slow, it sounds like more
         And it's all right, whoa, it's all right

 Verse 3:

         Now listen to the beat
         Kinda pat your feet
         You got soul, and everybody knows
         That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

 Bridge 1:

         Bbm                            Fm
         When you wake up early in the morning
                 Bbm                    Fm
         Feelin' sad like so many of us do
         Bbm           Fm
         Hum a little soul
              (Fm)      Ebm
         Make life your goal
              Fm     Ebm                       Fm     Ebm      Ab
         And surely something's got to come to you    And say it's...

 [repeat verse 1]

 Verse 4:

         Now everybody clap your hands
         Give yourself a chance
         You got soul, and everybody knows
         That it's all right, whoa, it's all right

 Bridge 2:

         Someday I'll find me a woman
         Who will love and treat me real nice
         Then my woe's got to go
         And my love, she will know
         From morning, noon, and night
         And she's got to say it's...

 [repeat verse 1]

 Coda (guitar as per intro):

                                  Db   Gb /Ab  Db [repeat]
         Now everybody clap your hands
         Now give yourselves a chance
         You got soul... [fade]
