With out a (Fmaj7)song

the day would (Bbmaj7)nev er end; with out a (Fmaj7)song

the road would (Bb)nev er bend; when things go (F)wrong

a man ain’t (C7sus)got a (C7)friend, with out a (F)song.

That (C)field of (Fmaj7)corn

would nev er (Bbmaj7)see a plow; that field of (Fmaj7)corn

would be de (Bb)sert ed now; a man is (F)born,

but he’s no (C7sus)good no (C7)how, with out a (F)song.

I (F7)got my (Bb)trou ble and (F7)woe, (Bb)but (F7)sure as I (Bb)know (F7)the (Bb)Jor (C)dan will (F)roll.

what makes the (Bb)grass so tall; I on ly (F)know

there ain’t no (C7sus)love at (C7)all with out a (F)song.

Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
