One Nation Under A Groove
By Funkadelic (1978)
I couldn't find a guitar tab for this song anywhere, so I decided to tab it
myself. It is very hard to hear what exactly the guitars are playing, so I
just have the basics. I realize that I am missing some parts. Listen to
the recording for timing and don't be afraid to play around with it.

And there you go. Far from perfect, but since I have neither the time nor
the skill to decipher every detail of the song I feel like this is a good
starting point. Once you get the groove down, it is easy to add your own
funky licks. Now play on, children!
