I Believe In Music Chords

I BELIEVE IN MUSIC – MAC DAVIS
 
VERSE 1:
C                                     Dm
I could just sit around, making music all day long.
G                                             F  Em     C
As long as I'm making my music ain't gonna do nobody no harm.
 C                                 Dm
And who knows, maybe someday, I'll come up with a song
G
To make people want to stop this fussing and fighting
F              Em     C
Long enough to sing along.
 
CHORUS:
C            Dm
I believe in music
F - G             F Em Dm C
I - I  believe in love
C            Dm
I believe in music
F - G            F Em Dm C
I - I believe in love.
 
VERSE 2:
C                                      Dm
Music is love and love is music if you know what I mean
G                                            F           Em   C
People who believe in music are the happiest people I've ever seen
C                                          Dm
So clap your hands and stomp your feet and shake those tambourines
G                                F         Em       C
Lift your voices to the sky, God loves you when you sing.

I believe in music
F - G             F Em Dm C
I - I  believe in love

I - I believe in love.
 
 
VERSE 3:
C                                    Dm
Music is the universal language, and love is the key
G                                        F         Em     C
To peace and hope and understanding, and living in harmony
C                                    Dm
So take your brother by the hand and come along with me
G                                   F        Em         C
Find out what it really means to be rich and young and free.

F - G             F Em Dm C
I - I  believe in love
C            Dm
I believe in music
F - G            F Em Dm C
I - I believe in love.
 
CHORUS:
C            Dm
I believe in music
F - G             F Em Dm C
I - I  believe in love
C            Dm
I believe in music
F - G            F Em Dm C
I - I believe in love.
 
Either repeat last line and finish or repeat chorus and fade.
 
This is not exactly the way it is played on the record.  An interesting dynamic is to raise the third verse
and
 chorus by ½ tone,  e.g. from C to Db and then to finish with the final (repeat) chorus raised by an
additional
 tone, e.g. D to E.
 
It’s a great ‘feel-good’ song which also has a great message.  Have fun.
