Let's Get It On • Marvin Gaye

 

244322 (works better than ) 

G 355433 (bridge uses G7 353433, and E 022100 or E7)

That gets a nice bass line in the 4th string (0,4,5,7) -- don't know if that's a

reason for dropping the 7ths (F#7 & A7) used in the other version and the Wendy Colonna

that follows. --Arthur Marks

I've been really tryin , baby 

Tryin to hold back this feeling for so long

And if you feel, like I feel baby, then

Come on, oh come on,

Let's get it on 

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

We're all sensitive people 

With so much to give, understand me sugar

Since we got to be here

Lets say, I love you

There's nothin wrong with me 

Lovin you---

And givin yourself to me can never be wrong

If the love is true

 

Don't you know how sweet and wonderful, life can be 

I'm askin you baby, to get it on with me

I aint gonna worry, I aint gonna push

(7?) 

So come on, come on, come on, come on baby

(not barred) 

Stop beatin round the bush....

Let's get it on 

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

Let's get it on

repeat and fade

A different acoustic take. She hits top note twice and then strums once for each chord

the 6th string on the G, the 5th on the E7 and C, and the 4th on the D7). The timing with

singing is very tricky for me. --Arthur Marks
