More chords by Aretha Franklin

Genre: rock, funk, soul


"Niki Hoeky", originally written by Pat and Lolly Vegas and released by P.J.

Proby in 1966, covered by

Aretha Franklin and released on her quintessential album Lady Soul in 1968.

The Ab6 and Gm7 chords incorporate the horn line that eventually comes in

during the verses, but you could

just stick to the original chords if you want. I've also included the

post-verse guitar licks below the text.

is maintained but the notes are

improvised a bit.
