[D] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [A] _ [Dm] When [F] I started down [E] the [A] street last [D] Sunday, feeling mighty low [Dm] and kind of [F] mean, suddenly
a voice [Gm] said, [C] go for [F] neighbors, spread the picture on a wider screen.
[Bb] And the voice said, neighbor, [G] there's a [E] million [A] reasons why [C] you should be [Gbm] glad in all [D] four [G] seasons.
[C] Pick a road, neighbor, [F] leave your [D] worries at [Gm] strike.
Spread [A] the [Dm] religion of the rhythm [E] _ [Fm] of life.

_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Db] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [C] _ It's [F] a powerful _
_ _ [Bbm] _ beat, [Eb] with a tingle in your [Ab] fingers and a tingle in your [Db] feet.
Rhythm on the A-side, rhythm [Bb] on the C, [C] and the rhythm of life [Fm] has a powerful beat.
[Eb] So [Db] let the rhythm of life, [Eb] it's all you need, have [Ab] a powerful [Db] beat.
[Cm] Rhythm on the A [Bbm]-side, rhythm on the C, [C] and the rhythm of [Fm] life has a powerful [Em] beat.
[Dm] Go and spread the [E] gospel [A] in [Dm] Milwaukee, take a walkie-talkie to Rocky Ridge,
[F] all the way to [Gm] Kent and then [C] to [F] Stratford, even to L.A. down to the Manhattan [Gm] Bridge.
You will make a new [E] sensation, have a growing [C] congregation,
and have [D] life-blowing operation here below.
[Gm] Light a fire, [C] fire burning, keep the [Dm] music flowing, keep the rhythm going going go go go!

Flipping wings [Em] and fly up [A] high.
