[Intro]
G  C
 
[Verse 1]
G                                 C/G
Don't you feel it growing, day by day
G                                Em
People are getting ready for the news
         D               C

Oh, we're gonna let the music play
 
G                                           C/G
What the people need is a way to make 'em smile
   G                               Em
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
            D                  C
Gotta get a message, get it on through
                                  G
Lord, now mamma, don't you ask me why
 
[Chorus]

Oohoh   ooh, listen to the music

All the   time
 
[Verse 2]
G                                          C/G
Well I know, you know better, everything I say
G                             Em
Leave me in the country for a day
         D               C
We'll be happy and we'll dance
                                 G       C/G
Oh, we're gonna dance the blues away
 
G                                                         C/G
And if I'm feeling good to you and you're feeling good to me
G                                  Em
There ain't nothing we can't do or say
        D             C
Feeling good, feeling fine,
                       G
Oh baby, let the music play
 
[Chorus]
     Em7                   C
Oohoh   ooh, listen to the music
     Em7                   C
Oohoh   ooh, listen to the music
     Em7                   C
Oohoh   ooh, listen to the music
        A      C
All the   time
 
[Bridge]
G                   F      C/G                        G
Like a lazy flowing river, surrounding castles in the sky
G                        F
And the crowd is growing bigger,
C
Listening for the happy sounds
Gonna have to let them fly.
 
[Outro]
     Em7                   C
Oohoh   ooh, listen to the music
  Em7                   C
Oohoh   ooh, listen to the music
     Em7                   C
Oohoh   ooh, listen to the music
        A      C
All the   time
