OK. Here are the real chords to Listen to the Music by the Doobie Brothers. First of
all, the intro is E. Not the open chord, but the barre type chord. Now its NOT the open
chord. Its the E barre Chord. You know how you put your fingers over the seventh and
ninths frets, well, just put a finger over the ninth fret to give you that E sound,
and hammer onto the 5th string, 11th fret. Simple. Then its just a simple chord under
it, (This is an A) in the form of a standard barre chord, except remove your pinky
finger. ( this chord is an A)!
- NOTE PLay the song in barre chords and remember to hammer on for the E type of chord!
Good luck!
Don’t you feel it growin’, day by day
People gettin’ ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play
What the people need
Is a way to make ’em smile
It ain’t so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh now mama, don’t you ask me why
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We’ll be happy
And we’ll dance
Oh, we’re gonna dance our blues away
And if I’m feelin’ good to you
And you’re feelin’ good to me
There ain’t nothin’ we can’t do or say
Feelin’ good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
List’nin’ for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
