[E] fish are rising up like birds.
[A] [C]
[E] It's been hot for seven weeks now, [A] too hot to even [C] speak now.
[D] [E] Did you hear what I just [A] heard?
[E]
Say it might have been the wind, [C#m] [Am]
or it could [E] have been the wind.
[C#] [A] [Am]
But there [E] seems to be a beat [A] now, I can feel it in my [E] feet now.
[A] Listen, here it [E] comes again.
[F#m] [Em]
[G#] [A] There's a band [D#] out on the highway, [Dm] their hearts [A] stepping into town.
It's a rainbow full of sound, [Bm] it's fireworks, [Dm] calophies [A] and clowns.
And [F#m] everybody's dancing.
[Dm] [A] Come [D#] [Dm] [A] [D]
[Em] [F#m] [F] on, kid, come on, [A] kid, come on, play [A] with me.

[B] [E] [A] [E] They're a band beyond description, [A] [C] [E] like Jehovah's favorite [A] choir.
[E] People join in hand in hand, [A] while the music [C] plays the band.
[E] Lord, they're setting us on fire, crazy rooster crowing at night.
[A] [C] [E] Balls of [E] lightning roll along, [A] [Am] [E] old men sing about their [A] dreams.
Women laugh and [Am] children [C] scream, [E] and the band keeps playing on.
[A] [E] [A]
Keep on dancing through the daylight, [Dm]
breathe the morning [A] air with song.
No one's noticed, but the band's all packed and gone.
[A#]
Wasn't [Dm] [A] ever here at all, but they keep on [D] dancing.
[A] [D#] [Dm]
[A] [Am] [Em] [A]
Come [F] on, children, come [A] on, children, come [D#] on, clap your hands.
[Em]
[Bm] [E] [A] Well, the cool [C#] breeze came on [D] Tuesday, [F] [G] [A] and the corn's [C#] a bumper crop.
[D] [F] [G] [A] And the fields are full of dancing, [D] full of singing [F] and [G] romancing.
[D] The [E] music [A] never stops.
