Listen To The Music

I play listen to the music with what I call the Tom Johnston shuffle:

e-------------------------------------------------------

B-------------------------------------------------------

G-------------------------------------------------------

D--9-----9---9---9-----9-----9---9---9---9--------------

A--9_10-10--10--10-----9_10-10--10--10---9--------------

E--0-----0---0---0-----0-----0---0---0---0--------------

e-------------------------------------------------------

B---------------------9_10-10-10-10-10_9----------------

G---------------------9--9--9--9--9--9-9----------------

D--9-----9---9---9----9_11-11-11-11-11_9----------------

A--9_10-10--10--10--------------------------------------

E--0-----0---0---0--------------------------------------

This can be played while barring the 9th fret and doing the hammer-ons and

pull-offs (_) with the 2nd and 3rd fingers.

(Shuffle)

Don't you feel it growing, day by day

Half the shuffle going to: C#m7

People gettin' ready for the news

(at 7th fret) (At 5th fret)

Some are happy, some are sad Gonna let the music

(Return to shuffle)

Play

What the people need is a way to make them smile

It ain't so hard to do if you know how

Gotta get a message, get it on through

Lordy mama, be here after a while

Whoa-oo-whoa Listen to the music

Whoa-oo-whoa Listen to the music

Whoa-oo-whoa Listen to the music

All the time

Bridge (with flanger)

Like a lazy flowin' river,

Surroundin' castles in the sky.

And the crowd is growin' bigger,

Listenin' for the the happy sounds and I got to let them fly.

Return to verse (and shuffle) and end

(Apologies for any lyrical mistakes; this was from memory)

Re: Update

Whooboy, there were some mistakes in this, too, when I posted it ove a year

ago. When people from Germany are writing to tell you you screwed up, it's

time to fix the tab. The shuffle was the screwed bit (which is corrected

now). And I've added the bridge now (which is no big deal, but for

completeness).
