E G A C D E G A C
There's mosquitoes on the river, Fish are rising up like birds
D E G A C D E
It's been hot for seven weeks now, too hot to even speak now, did you hear what I just heard?
E G A C D E G A C D
Say it might have been a fiddle, Or it could have been the wind
E G A C D E

There's a band out on the highway, They're high steppin' into town
A7 Adim7 Bdim/A A
It's a rainbow full of sound, It's fireworks, calliopes and clowns
A6 Bdim/A A Adim7
Everybody's dancin'
A6 Bdim/A A Adim7 D E
C'mon children, C'mon children, Come on clap your hands

[Verse 3]
A C D F G A C D F G
Sun went down in honey, And the moon came up in wine
A C D F G D E A E F# B
You know stars were spinnin' dizzy, Lord the band kept us so busy, we forgot about the time

[Verse 4]
E G A C D E G A C D
They're a band beyond description, Like Jehovah's favorite choir
E G A C D E
People joining hand in hand, while the music played the band, Lord, they're setting us on fire
E G A C D E G A C D
Crazy rooster crowin' midnight, Balls of lightin' roll along
E G A C D E
Old men sing about their dreams, women laugh and children scream, and the band keeps playin' on
