[Verse]

E                                  A  
Don't you feel it growin', day by day
E                           C#m
People gettin' ready for the news
         B               A
Some are happy, some are sad
A                            E
Oh, we got to let the music play

E
What the people need
                      A
Is a way to make 'em smile
   E                               C#m
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
             B
Gotta get a message
            A
Get it on through
A                             E
Oh now mama, don't you ask me why


[Chorus]

       C#m7               A
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the music
       C#m7               A
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the music
       C#m7               A
Oh, oh, oh, listen to the music
        F#7      A
All the time - ime

[Verse]

E
Well I know, you know better
             A
Everything I say
E                            C#m
Meet me in the country for a day
        B
We'll be happy
        A
And we'll dance

A                                E A
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away
E
And if I'm feelin' good to you
                           A
And you're feelin' good to me
E                                 C#m
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say
        B       A
Feelin' good, feeling fine
A                       E
Oh, baby, let the music play


[Chorus]

C#m7                 A
Oh, oh, listen to the music
C#m7                 A
Oh, oh, listen to the music
C#m7                 A
Oh, oh, listen to the music
        F#7  A   E
All the time


[Bridge]

E                     D
Like a lazy flowing river
A                         E
Surrounding castles in the sky
E                       D
And the crowd is growing bigger
A                           
List'nin' for the happy sounds
A                                     
And I got to let them fly


[Chorus] (X2)

C#m7               A
Oh, oh, listen to the music
C#m7            A
Oh, oh, listen to the music
C#m7            A
Oh, oh, listen to the music
        F#7      A
All the time
