Crystal Waters – Gypsy Woman chords

This being a house tune, the rhythm is pretty fast and tight.

Once you've got this down-pat, what really goes well is throwing in regular string-
slaps, occasional body slaps and sudden stops for a few beats.

Give it a go - don't be shy!

I play these chords this way:
