Verse 1:
G       D           Am         C
   As a boy I had a gig with a travelin' show
G      D         Am      C
   Way back in '63
G     D            Am              C
   We did a little pickin' for the soldier boys
G     D             Am C   C#
   Of General Bobby Lee

Bridge 1:
D      Bb            C       G
   But when we got to Pennsylvania,
D    Bb               C
   I knew there'd be a change
D     Bb                 C          G
   We caught up with some boys from Georgia
D        Bb           C
   And I heard one of them say

Chorus:
G  D              Am     C
   Don't tell the band
G      D              Am    C
   The devil's on his way
G  D              Am     C
   Don't tell the band
G  D              Am     C       C  D  G     D  Am  C
Just let the music play

Verse 2:

Later on I had a job pouring gin and rum

On the grand queen of the sea

We set out on our first transatlantic voyage

Headed for New York City

Bridge 2:

But when I felt that lady shudder

I knew there'd be a change

I saw the captain grab the first mate

And I thought I heard him say

(Chorus)

Just let the music play

Solo over bridge and chorus once each

Verse 3:

In the Restaurant at the End of the Universe

In the year 3010

I was listenin' to the Good Old Interstellar Boys

Playin' "Let It Be" again

Bridge 3:

But when I heard the trumpet sounding

I knew there'd be a change

A prophet wearin' robes appeared before us

And he looked at me and said

(Chorus x2)

Just let the music play

Just let the music play

End on 
Em
