Listen To The Music

i wanted to learn this song a long time ago as a beginner and there were no easy - ish tabs on it , so i had my guitar teacher sound out the chords for me . i think this is a nearly perfect tab . tips : while you play the D chords , you can use your ring finger and pinky on the high E string to get the background melody you hear prodominantly throughout the song like this : E - - - - - - 0 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 0 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 2 2 0 - - - - - - and when you play the Bridge/Verse 3 towards the end , use this C and G fingering for the chords : C G E 3 3 B 3 3 G 0 0 D 2 0 A 3 2 E 0 3 * * * capo 2 * * * Verse 1 : D G don’t you feel it growin’ day by day D Bm people gettin’ ready for the news A G some are happy some are sad G D wo , we got to let the music play D G what the people need is a way to make ’em smile D Bm it ain’t so hard to do if you know how A G gotta get a message get it on through D oh now mama’s goin’ to after a while Chorus : Bm G wo , oh , oh , listen to the music Bm G wo , oh , oh , listen to the music Bm G wo , oh , oh , listen to the music E G all the ti - - ime Verse 2 : D G well i know you know better everything i say D Bm meet me in the country for a day A G we’ll be happy and we’ll dance G D wo , we’re gonna dance the blues away D G and if i’m feelin’ good to you and you’re feelin’ good to me D Bm there ain’t nothin’ we can’t do or say A G feelin’ good , feeling fine G D wo , baby , let the music play ( Chorus ) Bridge/Verse 3 : D C like a lazy flowing river C G surrounding castles in the sky D C and the crowd is growing bigger G listenin’ for the happy sounds and i got to let Em fly ( Chorus a couple times )
