Accentuate The Positive Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
You've [G]got to accentuate the positive
[C]Elimin[Cm]ate the negative
[G]Latch on to the affirmative
[E]Don't [C]mess with [D]Mister In- [G]Between
You've got to spread joy
up to the maximum
[Am]Bring [C]gloom [Eb]down to the mini[Cm]mum
[G]Have faith or pandemonium
[Am]Liable to [D]walk upon the [G]scene
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah [Em]in the w[C]hale, Noah in the ar[G]k
What did they do
Just when [E]everything looked so [Eb]dark
[D]Man, they said we better,
[G]accentuate the positive
[C]Elimin[Cm]ate the negative
[G]Latch [Em]on to the affi[G]rmative
[Am]Don't mess with [D]Mister In- [G]Between
[E]No, [Am]do not mess with
[D]Mister In- [G]Between
Do you hear me?
Oh, listen to me children
and- a [C]you will hear
[Cm]About the elininatin' of the negative
[G]And the accent on the posit[Am]ive
And gather 'round [D]me children
if you're willin'
And [G]sit tight while I start
reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right
You've gotta accentuate
the [C]positive
Eliminate the negative
[Cm]Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-
[G]Between
You've got to spread joy up
to the maximum
Bring gloom, down to the minimum
[Am]Otherwise pandemoni[D]um
Liable to walk upon the [G]scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the [C]whale, Noah in the [G]ark
What did they say
Say when [Em]everything [E]looked so dar[Eb]k
[D]Man, they said we bet[G]ter accentuate
the [Am]positive[C]
[Cm]Eliminate the negative
[G]Latch on [Em]to the affirmative[G]
[Am]Don't mess with [D]Mister In- [G]Between
[E]No, [Am]don't mess with
[D]Mister In- [G]Between[C][G]
