Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][A][Am][A][G]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]The mu[G]sic [Am]from
the radio [F]glowing in the [G]dark
[Am]echoed round his head
before it [F]settled in his [G]heart
the [F]words would [C]not evolve
if the [G]melody was right
that [C]radio could burn, burn, [F]burn
[G]all through the [Am]night[G]
[C]people are gonna rise up to their feet
[F]When [C]they hear the
Rhythm [F]King
[C]They're gonna get so
[Am]caught up in the beat
[F]They'll [C]forget about eve[F]rything
[C]He [G]can take them places
where their [Am]hearts have never been
[F]No one else can [G]swing
Like the Rhythm [C]King
Like [F]the [C]Rhythm [F]King
[Am]High up on Manhattan,
in a [F]satin finish [G]room
He [Am]searches through an unmade bed,
and [F]finds the perfect [G]fool
He can't [F]read his eye in the [C]present,
but he [G]cannot hide his fears
The [C]mirror won't disguise the lies
[F]From [G]all the wasted [Am]years[A][Am][G]
[C]People are gonna rise up to their feet
[F]Whe[C]n they hear the rhythm kic[F]k
They [C]won't get so caught
up [Am]in the [F]beat
[C]They'll forget about [F]everything
You [G]can take them places
where their [Am]hearts have never been
[F]No one else can [G]swing
like the [C]Rhythm King
Like [F]the [C]Rhythm [F]King[Am][G][Am]
[G][Am]
[G]So [Am]many listen,
come [F]to hear the thunder [G]roar
[Am]Now that he's the meantime,
they keep [F]calling out [G]for more
He [F]plays away [C]his feelings,
then he [G]moves to overdrive
The [C]crown of his disciples,
[F]and [G]he needs them to survive
[Am]They're keeping him aliv[G]e
[C]I'm gonna rise up to their feet,
[F]whe[C]n they hear the rest
of the [F]game
[C]They're gonna get so caught
up [F]in the beat,
they'll forget about [C]everything[F]
[G]He can take them places
where their [Am]hearts have never been
[F]No one else can [G]swing
like the [C]Rhythm King
[F]Like the [C]Rhythm [F]King
I said, [C]they're all gonna
rise up to their feet
[F]When they [C]hear the Rhythm [F]King
[C]They're gonna get so
caught up in the [F]beat,
they'll forget [C]about [F]anything.
We [G]can take them places
where their hearts have never been.
No one else can swing
like the rhythm can.
