_ This is the part in the program that says the audience sings. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ We're going to help you a little bit. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Faces, _ we're going to start us out. _
Faces in the audience, when you [G] hear it, you just start singing along.
You have a G. _ _
All right?
It goes like this.
One, two, three.
_ A-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, [A#] a-wing-a-way, [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
a-wing-a-way. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ All [N] right, you're good, but you're late.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ Now we [D#] add the tenor.
_ [G] They just have a little harmony.
_ _ Tenors are on a B _ note.
_ _ All the rest of the men [E] and [G] any, [F#] you know, women of a certain age. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ We'll sing the tenor part.
[C#] One, two, [G] three, and.
A-wing-a-way, [N] a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, _ _ a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way,
a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way,
a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way. _ _ _ _

a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way, a-wing-a-way.
So what it basically is to sing in harmony.
You just, you stay on one note until it doesn't [N] sound good and you can just go off again. _
_ _ _ _ You're only one half step away from something that works.
_ [Em] _
_ _ _ [F] We're now going to add the [G] sopranos.
So G, _ G, _ _ B, _ B, and G. _
