Song Lyrics and Chords

[INTRO 1]
| G6 / / / | G6 / / / | Fmaj7 / / / | Fmaj7 / / / |


[Verse 1]

Am7       D7 
Hey kids, shake it loose together, 
       G         
the spolight's hitting something 
            G#o  
that's been known to change the weather. 
Am7                        D 
We'll kill the fatted calf tonight 
                Em       Em
so stick around, 
       Am                    Bm 
you're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound. 


[Chorus 1]

    G                           G
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet 
    Am                     C 
but they're so spaced out, Bennie and the jets, 
             G                
but they're weird and they're wonderful, 
    Am               
oh, Bennie she's really keen 

            C              D 
she's got electric boots a mohair suit, 
           Em               Em7 
you know I read it in a magazine, 
   C  Bb      D              G      
oh!           Bennie and the jets. 
 
 
[INTRO 2]

[Verse 2]

Am7       D7  
Hey kids, plug into the faithless, 
   G        
maybe they're blinded 
    G#o     
but Bennie makes them ageless. 
Am7               D                      Em 
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along, 
         Am                    
where we fight our parents out in the streets 
Bm                                   
to find who's right and who's wrong. 


[Chorus 2]

     G                          G
Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet 
    Am                     C 
but they're so spaced out, Bennie and the jets, 
            G                 G          
but they're weird and they're wonderful, 
    Am               
oh, Bennie she's really keen

            C              D 
she's got electric boots a mohair suit, 
           Em               Em7 
you know I read it in a magazine, 
   C  Bb      D              G      
oh!           Bennie and the jets.
