Strum

[Silence]
[Arrangement: Acoustic Guitar, Hammond Organ, Handclaps, Upbeat Rock Groove]

[Intro]
Hey!
(One, two, three, four!)
Say…
(Let’s play some more)

[Verse 1]
You don’t need a reason
You don’t need a plan
You don’t need permission
To be help out man

A rhythm’s always waiting
Right beneath your feet
A melody is hiding
In every passing street

[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t worry if it’s perfect
Don’t worry if it’s wrong
The world keeps making noises
Turn a few into a song

[Refrain]
Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

Play
(Let the moment bring)
Life
(To everything)

[Verse 2]
The birds don’t read the music
The wind ignores the chart
The river keeps on playing
Straight from its heart

The crowd may know the chorus
Or maybe they’ll just smile
Either way the music
Makes the journey worthwhile

[Pre-Chorus]
The first note is the hardest
The next one comes along
Before you know what happened
Everybody’s singing strong

[Refrain]
Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

Play
(Let the moment bring)
Life
(To everything)

[Bridge]
Hey!
(Hey!)
Whoa!
(Oh!)
Turn it up
(Let it go!)
Clap your hands
(Feel the glow!)
Round and round
(The good times flow!)

[Instrumental, Psychedelic Percussion Jam]

[Final Refrain]
Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

Laugh
(And let it ring)
Joy
(Is a good start)
… a pretty good thing
(Bring it from the heart)

Strum
(Or hum some)
Sing
(Dance to anything)

[Outro]
Strum…
(Or hum some)
Strum…
(Or hum some)

Everybody now:
Strum!
(Come get some)
