Song by Funcadelic that was performed live by RHCP. Bass line is simple. As a guitarist i've tried to make
a guitar line similar to Frusciante's.

Tuning: Standard

Use wah wah pedal to recreate the sound.

Bass intro and outro line:
G---------------------|
D----------0----------|
A-------------2--3--2-|
E-5---2---------------|
(You can play D note on the 5th fret of A string intead of playing it on open D, but Flea plays it on open D)

Main bass line:
G---------------------------|
D---------------------------|
A---------------------------|
E-5----55----55----3--4---5-|

Strum hard with your right hand and mute non-sounding strings with your left hand to create Frusciante's
percussive sound. Use A minor pentatonic scale from 5th fret to create your own melody.

Lyrics:
If you got funk, you got style
You're funkin' and you're styling all the while
When you got funk, you got class
You're out on the floor movin' your ass
She don't claim to be no super freak
She just want to dance to a freaky beat
She don't claim to be no cover girl
Don't claim to be, but give it a whirl
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head
Go 'head, go 'head, go 'head
If you got funk, you got style
You're funkin' and you're styling all the while
If you got funk, you got class
You're out on the floor movin' your ass
