Lyrics

There may be (Ab)trou (Cm)ble a (Cm6)head,

but while there’s (Ab)moon (Cm)light and (Dm7)mu sic, (G7)and (Csus)love, (C)and ro mance...

Let’s face the (C)mu sic and dance.

Be fore the (Ab)fid (Cm)dlers have fled;

be fore they (Ab7)ask us to (D7)pay the (Dm7)bill,

and (G7)while we (F)still (G7)have the (C)chance...

Let’s face the (Fm6)mu sic and dance.

(Ab)Soon

we’ll be with (Ab)out the moon,

hum ming a (Ab)diff ’rent tune,

and (F)then...

There may be (Ab)tear (Cm)drops to (Cm6)shed...

So while there’s (Ab)moon (Cm)light and (Dm7)mu sic, (G7)and (Csus)love, (C)and ro mance...

Let’s face the (D7)mu sic and dance,

(Ab7)dance.

Let’s (Am7)face the (C6)mu sic and dance.
