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

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