Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E][A][C]
[E][A][C]

[Verse 1]
There's [E]mosquitoes on the [A]river[C]
Fish are [E]rising up like [A]birds[C]
It's been [E]hot for seven weeks now
[A]Too hot to even [C]speak now
Did you [E]hear what I just heard?

[Verse 2]
Say, it [E]might have been a [A]fiddle[C]
Or it [E]could have been the [A]wind[C]
But there [E]seems to be a beat now
I can [A]feel it in my [C]feet now
Listen [E]here it comes again

[Chorus 1]
[A]There's a band out on [Adim]the highway
[Dm]They're high-stepping into[A] town
It's a rainbow [Adim]full of sound
It's [Dm]fireworks, calliopes and [A]clowns
Everybody's [A]dancing[Bm]
[A][B]
[A][D][E]
[A]Come on chi[Bm]ldren, come on children
[A]Come on clap your [B]hands
[A][E]
[A]Sun went down in [D]honey
[F]And[G] the moo[A]n came up in win[D]e
[F]You kno[G]w the sta[A]rs were spinning dizzy
Lord the [D]band kept us so [F]busy
[G]We for[D]got a[E]bout the [A]time

[Interlude 1]
[E][F#]
[E][E][E][E]

[Verse 3]
They're a [E]band beyond de[A]scription[C]
Like Je[E]hovah's favorite [A]choir[C]
People [E]joining hand in hand
While the [A]music plays the [C]band
Lord [E]they're setting us on fire

[Verse 4]
Crazy [E]rooster crowing [A]midnight[C]
Balls of [E]lightning roll a[A]long[C]
Old men [E]sing about their dreams
Women [A]laugh and children [C]scream
And the [E]band keeps playing on

[Chorus 2]
[A]Keep on dancing through the day[Adim]light
[Dm]Greet the morning air with song[A]
No one's noticed
but the [Adim]band's all packed and gone
[Dm]Was it ever here at all?[A]
But they kept on [Bm]dancing
[A][B]
[A][D][E]
[A]Come on chi[Bm]ldren, come on children
[A]Come on clap your [B]hands
[A][E]
Well the [A]cool breeze came on [D]Tuesday
[F]And[G] the cor[A]n's a bumper cro[D]p
[F]And[G] the fie[A]lds are full of dancing
Full of [D]singing and ro[F]mancing[G]
The [D]music [E]never [A]stopped

[Interlude 2]
[E][F#]
[E][E][E][E]
[E][E][E][E]

[Outro 1]
[E][A][C]
[E][A][C]
[Repeat and fade]
