Start Jamming...
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.
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.
