Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say you will be mine and I am yours
You think that you're way above me
I'm telling you that I can see
All those things that you might wanna be
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight
You keep telling me you're not having me
I'm telling you that I can see
All the things that you might wanna be
Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say will be mine and I am yours
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight
I got a big fat Mama
With a big fat boy
Really thinks she's something else
But I love that woman
Like fish loves the water
And there is nobody else
I'm gonna tell you woman better do as you're told
If you don't, I'm gonna bringing you down
I've got a big fat Mama
And there's no one else around
I said say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me
Say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me

version 3
solo
are a couple of pointers about the TAB:
- In part 1 of the solo, the guitars are both palm muted. In part 2, the guitars go much
and are not muted at all.
- Guitars 1 and 2 play together at the same time, in both parts of the solo.
- Guitar 2 is basically playing the same thing as guitar 1, but an octave higher.

I've got a big fat Mama
And there's no one else around

Say you need me
Come on and say you need me
