[Verse 1] 
[B]  Music is a world with- [G#m] in itself,
With a  [G] language we all under- [F#] stand.
[B]  With an equal oppor- [G#m] tunity,
For all to  [G] sing, dance, and clap their  [F#] ha- [F7] nds.
  
[Bridge 1] 
But just be- [E9] cause a  [D#9] record  [D9] has a  [C#9] groove,
Don't  [D9] make it  [D#9] in the  [E9] groove.
But you can  [E9] tell right a- [D#9] way at  [D9] letter  [C#9] A, 
When the  [D9] peo- [D#9] ple  [E9] start  [F9] to  [F#9] move. [F#7]    
  
[Chorus 1] 
[B]  They can feel it all  [Fm7-5] over,  
[Emaj7] they can feel it all o [C#m9] ver p [E/F#] eople.
[B]  They can feel it all  [Fm7-5] over,  
[Emaj7] they can feel it all o [C#m9] ver p [E/F#] eople.

[Verse 2] 
[B]  Music knows it is and  [G#m] always will,
Be one of  [G] the things that life just won't  [F#] quit.
[B]  But here are some of music's  [G#m] pioneers,
That time will  [G] not allow us to for- [F#] get; [F7]   
  
[Bridge 2] 
For there's  [E9] Basie,  [D#9] Miller,  [D9] Satch- [C#9] mo,
And the  [D9] King of  [D#9] all, Sir  [E9] Duke.
And with a  [E9] voice like  [D#9] Ella's  [D9] ringing  [C#9] out,
There's no  [D9] way  [D#9] the  [E9] band  [F9] can  [F#9] lose. [F#7]    
  
[Chorus 2] 
[B]  You can feel it all  [Fm7-5] over,  
[Emaj7] you can feel it all o [C#m9] ver p [E/F#] eople.
[B]  You can feel it all  [Fm7-5] over,  
[Emaj7] you can feel it all o [C#m9] ver p [E/F#] eople.
[B]  You can feel it all  [Fm7-5] over,  
[Emaj7] you can feel it all o [C#m9] ver p [E/F#] eople.
[B]  You can feel it all  [Fm7-5] over,  
[Emaj7] you can feel it all o [C#m9] ver p [E/F#] eople.
