E A E B E A C#m B E
[Verse 1]
E B E A
Well I love the sound of a fiddle string
E B E A
In the hands of a man who can make it sing
E B C#m
Playin’ that melody clear and sweet
A B E A E B
It’ll touch your heart and tickle your feet
[Verse 2]
E B E A
When I hear that mandolin
E B E A
It’s like the voice of a good old friend
E B C#m
Takes me back to a simpler day
A B E
Makes my troubles melt away
[Chorus 1]
A E
Whoah-oh, let’s get started
B E
Who knows when we’ll be parted
A E B
No time to be downhearted on this night
A E
Let’s play some good old music
B E
My heart sure could use it
A E B
Live it up a little while we can
E A E B E A C#m B E
Playin’ in a back porch bluegrass band
[Verse 3 / Bass Solo]
E B E A
Well I know a man who plays the bass
E B E A
With a big old grin on his face
E B C#m
‘Cause every note so deep and low
A B E A E B
Strikes a chord in his soul
[Verse 4]
E B E A
When I’ve had all I can bare
E B E A
Of a life that isn’t always fair
E B C#m
Nothing sets my soul at ease
A B E
Like that high-bound harmony
[Chorus 2]
E A E B
...bluegrass band
[Bridge / Guitar Solo]
A
And when it’s late
E
When the night has fallen
B
We can play
A E
With the katydids callin’
A
And we’ll know
C#m B
Long after we’re gone
( A E B E A E B B ) x2
They’ll keep up their song
[Chorus 3 / Outro]
E A E B E A C#m B E
...bluegrass band
