Intro has brief C octave Db Octave, leads into:

 

||A-11/ D             |  D7sus                    |A-11/D                      |Gmaj     F13 E13 Eb13 D13||

 

               Guitar palm mutes funky D, E G, over A-11.  D, E, F# over D7sus.

               The 13 chord section is those syncopated full band hits!  Ah Oooooooo!

 

 

Chorus:

 

Ooooooooooooo, five six seven oh niiiine!  The melody (in context of G major Key) is 5, 4, 3, 2, 3!  Is she singing a phone number or shouting her music theory?  The main note she holds over the A-7 chord (the “ah, OOOOooo!” is D, so that colors 11 on the A- chord.

 

||A-7                       |D9                        |Gmaj7                       |E-7                                        |

|A-7                         |D9                        |Gmaj7                       |A-7 B-7  B-7  C#-7   Dmaj  ||

              

Bass plays a funky formula of root, octave sliding up to 9 and back to octave. 

              

 

 

Verse:

Verse mostly is the same as the chorus.  Twice through A-, D7, Gmaj, E-, we get this new bit:

 

||C-7                       |C-7                      |B-7                                 |E7b913                           |

|A-7                         |A-7                      |D7                                  |D7                                 ||

 

                Full band hits on D7, “Loo-vin’, youuu!”  Notes F#, G, A.

 

                E7b913 is rly fun, can voice it as 0x6769 on guitar!  Not too tricky to grab and sounds SUPER sophisticated ;)

 

    Ta-daaa~  Enjoy!
