In this area you will find the lyrics and audio to play the melody and do a small impro.   Let’s first start by listening to the base audio.  This one doesn’t have any melody in it so it is ideal for you to practice.

Wild thing…you make my heart sing… You make everything Groovy I said wild thing… Wild thing, I think I love you But I wanna know for sure Come on, hold me tight I love you Wild thing…you make my heart sing… You make everything Groovy I said wild thing… Wild thing, I think you move me But I wanna know for sure So come on, hold me tight You move me Then let’s move forward to play the verse audio.  This audio has the verse “Wild thing… you make my heart sing…” part and you can repeat exactly the same by reading the tabs below:
