Six Man Band

(Terry Kirkman)

Jim Yester, in the liner notes to the Japanese _From The Original Master

Tapes_ CD (Warner/Pioneer WPCP-3536):

This song, "Along Comes Mary", and "Cherish", were probably closer to

what THE ASSOCIATION was really about than any other recordings. The

release of this song was accompanied by one of the first American Pop

Videos, although at that time done on 16mm film.

Verse 1:

[N.C.] Dm G Dm

Well I'm a day at a time

I'm a day at a time

Well, I'm a seeker and a knower in a six man mind

Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm [N.C.]

[intro riff, 1X]

Verse 2:

[2: 'Cause] I'm a travelin' man

Yes, I'm a travelin' man

I'm a comer and a goer in a six man band

Dm G Dm G Dm G Dm [N.C.]

[Intro riff, 1X]

Well I'm a California man, my instrument in hand

I'm electrified

On a fast flyin' trip, dirty laundry in my grip

Mostly drip-dry

We got the seventeen jewels that dictate the rules

And the time to fly as we're passin' by

We just got the time to say hello and then a fast

Goodbye

[repeat verse 2]

Coda:

[repeat intro riff to fade]
