you fret a chord, hit the root note then strum all strings below it and
sometimes people will pick the string under the root note with it
alternately as done in this song. here is a tab for how it is done.

ok now for the chords and lyrics...
verse 1
FRolling around like a big rubber ball
AmWriting this song about some things that I saw
FTrying to stand like a big strong tough man
AmFinding out fast that I'm sinking in sin
chorus:
BbAll I got is nothing but a Flittle bit of love
Gonna Bbgive it to the people then they'll Csee,
Then they'll see
verse 2
FSpinning the tops as the tables they turn
AmMade some mistakes but I still couldn't learn
FCovered my tracks, thought I was fine
AmGot no self control now I'm back here in line
chorus:
BbAll I got is nothing but a Flittle bit of love
Gonna Bbgive it to the people then they'll Csee,
Then they'll see
bridge:
F Am x4
switch every 4\4measure
(meanwhile strange oprah-lady sounds are going)
chorus:
BbAll I got is nothing but a Flittle bit of love
Gonna Bbgive it to the people then they'll Csee,
Then they'll see
