Mr. Keyboard Man Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Can [Em]you [D]ima[Em][D]
[G]gine the kind of beat
[C]tha[G]t was so popular lon[D]g before roc[G]k?
It made your heart feel as good as your [C]feet,
[G]so [A]for a while we'll be
turning back the [D]clock.
If you re[G]member the way they [C]danced,
[G]they didn't nee[D]d those
electric [G]guitars.
They liked the lyric and tune,
[F]combin[G]ing moo[Em]n, june and spoon,
[Eb]that sort [Ebdim]of dance nev[D]er left any scars.[G]
So [C]come [G]along with us
[D]and sin[G]g a song with us,[D]
the [G]kind that [C]has a real good
[Cm]old -time ragtime [G]beat.
It's very [D]neat to [G]hear them syncopate.
[D]It's time to [G]celebrate.
Hey, Mr. [A]Keyboard Man,
play something [D]sweet.
For those who [G]like it hot,
there is a man called Scott.
You'll find his [C]keyboard
style just entertained.
[Cm]With ragtime chord[G]s and wild refrains.
And [C]that's the [C#dim]way
we like to [D]hear it [G]today.
[D]That kin[G]d of mus[A]ic mak[D]es you smile.

[Verse 2]
So now you [Ab]know why we made this trip
[Db]Back [Ab]to th[Eb]e days of hot
ragtime and [Ab]jazz
Cause it's the scene where
you're really hip
[Db]Cause [Bb]the rhythm of life is what it [Eb]has
People [Ab]hear it and [Eb]all a[Db]gree
[Eb]That Mr. Joplin's got humor and [Ab]style
And in each piano roll
You'll [Eb]find the [Db]essence of soul
[Eb]It's got rock and roll
beatin' by a [Ab]mile[Db]
It's got [Eb]rock and roll beatin'
[Ab]By a mile [Eb]you
