“Le Freak” Chic – Free Chord Sheet Inside 🎸


Hey, Reader

Few songs capture the spirit of funk quite like “Le Freak” by Chic (1978).

It’s one of the most iconic disco-funk tracks of all time – with Nile Rodgers’ razor-sharp rhythm guitar driving the entire groove.

Here are a few things you might not know about Le Freak:
🎵 It became Chic’s biggest hit, selling over 7 million copies worldwide.
🎵 The riff was originally written after the band was turned away from Studio 54 on New Year’s Eve
🎵 Nile Rodgers’ rhythm part is a masterclass in 16th-note precision and chord voicings.

To help you get this one under your fingers, I’ve put together a free chord sheet PDF so you can jam along with the song.
