Capo 1

D5                         G5
Doing what you love has a high price to pay
A5                                       D5
Some put on a suit but he ran the other way
D5                                       G5
His drums drown out the yuppies and the one's who couldn't dream
          A5                                             D5
Cause the freedom music gave him was worth more than anything


Chorus:
           G5              D5
They don't know what they got
           A5                D5 D5 D5
Until it's gone, like it or not
            G5                          D5
You live on love, you try to do what's right
A5                                                                         D5
We're all here a-waiting for our silver invitation to the big band in the sky


Rollin down the windows, trying hard to fight the sleep
Money's never much for a band in Tennessee
Another night of playin to a crowd with no ears
Wanna hear the songs they know and fill their bellies full of beer


Chorus

G5                      D5
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
G5                      D5
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh


Bridge:

    G5                                                     D5
And when he closed his eyes, fell into a dream that never dies
    G5                                                         D5
And when the thunder comes, you can hear his kick drum in the sky
         A5                  G5
Feel the rain fall from our eyes


Chorus 1:
Cause we don't know what we got
Until it's gone, like it or not
You live on love, you try to do what's right
For him there's no more waiting, got his silver invitation to do a little playing for 
the big band in the sky

G5                      D5
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
G5                      D5
Oooh oo oo oo oo oo oo oooh
