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.
