I (Amaj7)know he’s a round

when the (A6)sky and the ground start in (A9)ring ing.

I know that he’s (Dmaj7)near

by the thun der I hear in ad (B)vance.

His words and his words a lone

are the words that can (E)start my heart (Amaj9)sing ing.

And (Bm7)his is the (C#m7)on ly (Bm7)mu sic

that makes me (C#)dance.
