_ _ _ [Bb] Alright, I know what you're thinking, sure they're playing good [Ebm] fast [F] bluegrass, but can they [D] do a polka?
Well, you [Abm] _ _ _ are [Bbm] so in luck!

[Eb] _ _ We're _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Abm] doing some tunes tonight, we're featuring songs, or [Eb] tunes I should say, _ _
off of [F] the new [Eb] Bela Flex CD, [N] Tales from the Acoustic Planet Part 2, the [G] Bluegrass Sessions.
[Am] And that's where we come [Bb] in. _ _ _
_ [F] Thank you Jerry.
_ _ _ [Eb] That's why we call it, the Bluegrass Sessions.
[N] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ They already have the sign made up.
The Bluegrass Sessions! _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Man, can't believe we just got here today, you people are righteous.
_ _ _ _ But, uh, it features _ almost all the tunes written by Bela, but there's a couple that he didn't write.
This was an old [F] bluegrass tune, _ a bluegrass polka [Ab] at that. _ _
_ _ I mean it.
[Bb] _ _ _
[N] Here, here, settle down [Gm] now. _ _ _
[G] _ An old Flatt'n [Ab] Scruggs tune called Polka on the old banjo.
[Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now there's a sweet young miss, that I like to kiss.
Listen folks [Bb] and hear me, _ she's not my only love.
I have another lover, you should just have [Eb] to share me.
But she's five feet tall, and her arms are pretty small.
A _ _ _ [Ab] _ _
_ _ _ _ politician [Eb] in a conversation [Bb] called the Polka on the old [Eb] banjo. _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Polka on the banjo, _ make that five [Eb] string hark.
_ _ _ Polka on the _ _ banjo, give it all.
[Ab] _ _
_ _ _ Polka on the banjo, _ watch them [Db] fangers go.
Of all the songs I guess, the [Ab] one that I love best is [Eb] the Polka on the old [A] banjo.
[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _

_ She takes a bottle of head, and I begin [Bb] to swim.
_ She knows I never miss a chance to steal a kiss.
It's the [Eb] Polka River, but I can say a word.
Once I have heard the sound that [Ab] I love so.
_ _ She's caught in the middle, playing [Eb] six [F]-fiddle to [Bb] a Polka on an [Eb] old crow.
_ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Polka on the banjo, _ _ make that [Eb] five string hark. _ _ _
Polka on the banjo, _ _ give it all.
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _
Polka on the banjo, _ watch them [Eb] fangers [Db] go.
Of all the songs I [Abm] guess, the one that I love best [Eb] is the Polka on an [Ab] old [A] banjo.
