[Verse 1]
[E]Hand me down my walkin' cane
Hand me down my hat
[E]Hurry now and don't be late
'Cause we ain't got time to chat
[E]You and me we're goin' out
To catch the latest sounds
[E]Guaranteed to blow your mind
So high you won't come [G]down

[Chorus 1]
[C]Hey, y'all prepar[G]e yourself
For the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You never hea[G]rd a sound
Like the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You're bound to los[G]e control
When the [D]Rubberband [E]starts to jam

[Interlude 1]
[E][A][G]
[E]Oh, Lord this dude is [G]outta [E]sight
[E]Everythi[A]ng he doe[G]s
[E]seems to [G]come out[E] right

[Verse 2]
[E]Once I went to hear them play
At a club outside of town
I was [E]so surprised, I was hypnotized
By the sound this cat's puttin' down
[E]When I saw this short fat guy
Stretched a band between his toes
Hey, I [E]laughed so hard
Cause the man got down
When he finaly reached his [G]goal

[Chorus 2]
[C]Hey, y'all prepar[G]e yourself
For the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You never hea[G]rd a sound
Like the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You're bound to los[G]e control
When the [D]Rubberband [E]starts to jam

[Interlude 2]
[E]Got that rub[A]berban[G]d
[E]Up [G]on his[E] toes
[E]Then he wri[A]ggled it up[G]
[E]All aro[G]und his[E] nose

[Bridge 1]
[D](Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo[E] doo)
Guaranteed to blow your mind
[D](Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo[E] doo)
Playin' all that music, yet keepin' time
[D](Doo doo doo doo doo...)
Where in the [E]world did he learn that, oh, Lord
(Doo doo doo doo doo)

[Chorus 3]
Lord, help him get away
[C]Hey, y'all prepar[G]e yourself
For the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You never hea[G]rd a sound
Like the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You're bound to los[G]e control
When the [D]Rubberband [E]starts to jam

[Interlude 3]
[E]Doo doo doo doo[A] doo doo[G]
[E]Doo doo doo[G] doo doo[E] doo doo
[E]Doo doo doo doo[A] doo doo[G]
[E]Rubberband man, [G]Rubberband [E]man

[Bridge 2]
[D]How much of this stuff
do he think we [E]can stand
[D]So much rhythm, grace and debonair
[E]from one man, Lord
[D]And then he had the nerve
to wiggle his left [E]toe
To his knee, got the feelin' in his head, y'all

[Chorus 4]
Ah, come on baby
[C]Hey, y'all prepar[G]e yourself
For the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You never hea[G]rd a sound
Like the [D]Rubberband [Bm]man
[C]You're bound to los[G]e control
When the [D]Rubberband [E]starts to jam

[Interlude 4]
[E]Rubberband man sta[A]rts to jam[G]
[E]Movin' up and down acr[G]oss the[E] land
[E]Got people all in [A]his way[G]s
[E]Everything about him[G] seems out[E] of place

[Outro 1]
Just a [D]movin', just a movin'
just a move-move-movin'
[E]Just a Rubberband, Rubberband man
Just a [D]movin', just a movin',
just a move-move-movin'
[E]Just a Rubberband, Rubberband man
[D]Get down (doo doo doo doo doo doo doo...)
[E]Oh, get down lover
Uh-huh (doo doo doo doo doo)
