(intro) F5 C5 G5 C5  F5 C5 G5 A#5 C5 F5 F5 C5

D5             D5        D5            D5
They took the beat away, replaced it with machines
D5             D5        D5            D5
They took the words away, and threw 'em on a screen
D5             D5        D5            D5
They turned the switches on, and handed us the phones
D5             D5        D5            D5
They blasted out our ears with endless monotrones

              D5             D#5
Can you feel it, can you feel it
       F5              D5
From a million miles away
             D5               D#5
Can you hear it, can you hear it
         F5               A#5  C5
Gettin' louder every day

F5                C5
Give the music back
G5                 C5
Give the music back
F5                C5                   G5  A#5 C5
Give the music back, before it's gone
G5                C5
Give the music back
F5                C5
Give the music back
F5                C5                   G5  A#5 C5
Put the music back into the song

D5             D5        D5            D5
They drove the blues away, and banished Rock 'n Roll
D5             D5        D5            D5
They cut away the heart, and sacrified the soul
D5             D5        D5            D5
They closed the disco's down, and shut off MTV
D5             D5        D5            D5
They locked the music up, and threw away the key

              D5             D#5
Can you feel it, can you feel it
       F5              D5
From a million miles away
             D5               D#5
Can you hear it, can you hear it
         F5               A#5  C5
Gettin' louder every day

F5                C5
Give the music back
G5                 C5
Give the music back
F5                C5                   G5  A#5 C5
Give the music back, before it's gone
G5                C5
Give the music back
F5                C5
Give the music back
F5                C5                   G5  A#5 C5
Put the music back into the song

D5             D5        D5            D5
And now a silence fills the room where once we sang
D5             D5        D5            D5
And all it's quiet where the chimes of freedom rang
D5             D5        D5            D5
Somewhere a pirateship is crashing through the waves
D5             D5        D5            D5
Sending a signal out, a battle to the grave

(2x)

F5                C5

G5                 C5
Give the music back
F5                C5                   G5  A#5 C5
Give the music back, before it's gone
G5                C5
Give the music back
F5                C5
Give the music back
F5                C5                   G5  A#5 C5
Put the music back into the song
