Verse 1:
                        F# A F# E F#
when I was sentenced to prison
                F# A F# E F#
To do about one year
                      D  B  A  B                   
They said it isn't so bad 
                   F# A F# E F#
We got a good band here
                        F# A F# E F#
We play every Wednesday night
                  F# A F# E F#
Sometimes Tuesday too
                      D  B  A  B
It's the music of the future
                   F# A F# E F#
and it will get to you

Verse 2:

                 F# A F# E F#
When I heard the band
              F# A F# E F#
for the first time
         X
They has no rhythm
         F# A F# E F#
They had no        rhyme
                      F# A F# E F#
Well it almost like a dream
                  F# A F# E F#
I never wanted to have
         D  B  A  B
It drove me crazy
         F# A F# E F#
It drove me mad
                        F# A F# E F#
The man said:  "C'mon and play
                        F# A F# E F#
And here's an instrument for you
                D  B  A  B
It's an ancient flute
                   F# A F# E F#
It's in the key of 2

   I gotta get more I gotta get more I gotta get more

I gotta get more time.  I gotta stay in here
             E  F#
I used to be foggy

But the music made me clear
