 G                   Em                            C                                   D    
This is our up-tempo folk song, the one we use to start the show  
G          Em                            C                                           D    
Our up-tempo folk song, the kind every folksinger ought to know  
        Em                        B7                           C                                      D  
The kind that sets your toe to tapping and makes you want to sing along  
        G                                Em                   C                 D               G  
The one we stole from the Kingston Trio, a generic up-tempo folk song  

G                                         Em                        C                                  D    
This is the middle of our up-tempo folk song; itÂ?s called the second verse  
G                           Em                         C                                   D    
You gotta  sing it warm and tender, to make it sound different from the first  
Em                                  B7                  C                              D   
This is where we look at all the people just to see who is around  
G                             Em                               C         D                     G   
And if you sing the second verse softly, the crowd usually quiets down  

Em                                   B7                     Em                    B7                                    
This is the bridge and its really exciting;  It has a different blend  
Em                                              C                          Em           A7                   D                                    
The purpose of the bridge is to get from the middle to the beginning of the end   

      G              Em                    C                            D    
Of this our up-tempo folksong, the end is drawing near  
 G                                   Em                                   C                                   D    
And by now you are so gosh darn excited, that you want to stand up and cheer  
        Em                      B7                  C                                D  
And say hurray for the folk survivors may they sing forever strong   
         G                        Em                 C               D                  G  
And for the land of the brave and free generic up-tempo folk song    
(Instrumental)  
        Em                       B7                   C                               D  
And say hurray for the folk survivors may they sing forever strong   
                 G                         Em                       C               D              G           C                D                 Eb   F    G  
May they shed a tear, each time they  hear a generic up-tempo folk song,  a generic up-tempo folk song
