Verse 1:
G5       D5           A5         C5
   As a boy I had a gig with a travelin' show
G5      D5         A5      C5
   Way back in '63
G5     D5            A5              C5
   We did a little pickin' for the soldier boys
G5     D5             A5 C5   C#5
   Of General Bobby Lee

Bridge 1:

   But when we got to Pennsylvania,
D5    Bb5               C5
   I knew there'd be a change
D5     Bb5                 C5          G5
   We caught up with some boys from Georgia
D5        Bb5           C5
   And I heard one of them say

Chorus:
G5  D5              A5     C5
   Don't tell the band
G5      D5              A5    C5
   The devil's on his way
G5  D5              A5     C5
   Don't tell the band
G5  D5              A5     C5       C5  D5  G5     D5  A5  C5
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
