Intro:

(Bass and Horns over these implied Chords):

G  Em  Eb  D

Verse 1:

G                      Em
 Music is a world with-in itself,
       Eb                    D
With a language we all under-stand.
G                    Em
 With an equal oppor-tunity,
           Eb                          D  C#7
For all to sing, dance, and clap their ha-nds.

Bridge 1:

            C9      B9     Bb9   A9
But just be-cause a record has a groove,
      Bb9     B9     C9
Don't make it in the groove.
            C9           B9     Bb9    A9
But you can tell right a-way at letter A,
         Bb9 B9  C9    C#9 D9
When the peo-ple start to  move.

Chorus 1:

G                     E7
 They can feel it all over,
Cmaj7                 Am7  D
 They can feel it all over people.
G                     E7
 They can feel it all over,
Cmaj7                 Am7  D
 They can feel it all over people.

Verse 2:

G                      Em
 Music knows it is and always will,
          Eb                              D
Be one of the things that life just won't quit.
G                             Em
 But here are some of music's pioneers,
               Eb                  D    C#7
That time will not allow us to for-get;

Bridge 2:

            C9     B9      Bb9   A9
For there's Basie, Miller, Satch-mo,
        Bb9     B9      C9
And the King of all Sir Duke.
           C9         B9     Bb9     A9
And with a voice like Ella's ringing out,
           Bb9 B9  C9   C#9 D9
There's no way the band can lose.

 You can feel it all over people.

 You can feel it all over people.
