Bm
Gloss on her lips, glass on the ceiling
        A
All the girls showing love while the boys be catching feelings
Em
Once you see her face, her eyes, you'll remember
           F#7
And she'll have you falling harder than a Sunday in September
Bm
Whether in Savannah, K-Kansas or in Atlanta
A
She'll walk in any room, have you raising up your antennas
Em
She can fly you straight to the moon or to the ghettos
F#7
Wearing tennis shoes or in flats or in stilettos
  Bm
Illuminating all that she touches, eye on the sparrow
  A
A modern day Joan of her Arc or Mia Farrow
Em
Classy, sassy, put you in a razzle-dazzy
       F#7
Her magnetic energy will have you coming home like Lassie
         Bm
Singing, "Ooh, shock it, break it, baby"
A
Electro-, sophisti-, funky, lady
Em
We the kind of girls who ain't afraid to get down
         F#7
Electric ladies go on and scream out loud!

         Bm        A       Em
Electric Lady, get way down
         F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to
         Bm        A       Em
Electric Lady, get way down
         F#7
Cause tonight we gon' do what we want to

Ooh, shock it, break it, baby
 A
Electric Lady, Electric Lady

Singin' boom, shock it, break it, baby
 F#7
Electric Lady, Electric Lady
