INTRO:
( 1 6m ) 5 1 1
1 ( 4 1 )
All my life's been blessed by music.
1 ( 1 5 )
Music puts a dance in my step.
1 ( 4 1 )
Sometimes moves me, sometimes soothes me.
1 ( 5 1 )
Sometimes helps, and hasn't hurt yet.
CHORUS:
1 ( 4 1 )
Whenever life gets difficult,
1 ( 4 5 )
sweet music guides me on.
1 ( 4 1 )
Long as my heart beats rhythm I'll
6m7 ( 5 ) 1
keep on living a life of song.
Music don't ask for half of my money;
music don't know which clubs I belong.
With music in mind, I'm rolling in plenty;
moments of joy are mine for a song.
CHORUS with
sweet music cheers me on.
When I was dumped, it helped me forget her.
When I was loved, it doubled the thrill.
Start out sad, it makes you feel better,
Start out happy, get happier still.
CHORUS with
sweet music keeps us strong.
Gotta be thinking all the time anyways,
gotta be walkin down alley and street.
Might as well think about catchy melodies,
might as well walk to a musical beat.
CHORUS with
sweet music moves us on.
Let your life be blessed by music.
Let it put a dance in your step.
Let it set you rhythmically moving.
Music might help, and hasn't hurt yet.
CHORUS:
1 ( 4 1 )
Let's live our lives in harmony.
1 ( 4 5 )
Let music cheer us on.
1 ( 4 1 )
Long as it's in our hearts we'll be
6m7 ( 5 ) 6m7 6m7
walking in rhythm, talking in song;
1 ( 5 ) ( 1 16 ) ( 1 19 ) 4maj7 4maj7
we'll be living a life of song,
( 1 5 ) 1
living a life of song.
Some fellow writers thought this would be a good drinking song; others opted for a children's song. Here then for your consideration is one of the finest children's drinking songs ever.
