Begin the day with a friendly voice,

-3  3 -3 -3  -3 -3 4 -3”
 A companion unobtrusive

 5     5    5 4   4    -4  -4 5 -4
Plays that so-ng that's so elusive

4   -3” -3-3  -4-3   -3   -4    4  4    4
And the magic music makes your morning mood.

 

 5  5   5    5   -4   4   -4 5   -4
Off on your way, hit the  open  road,

For the Spirit  ever lingers,

Undemanding contact in your happy solitude.

Invisible airwaves crackle with life

Bright antennae bristle with the energy

Emotional feedback on a timeless wavelength

All this machinery making modern music

Can still be  open  hearted.

Not so coldly charted

Your honesty.

One likes to believe in the freedom of music,

5    5  5  5   5 -4    4  -4 -4   -3 -3 -3” 3
But glittering prizes and endless compromises

5  5    -4  4 -4 5   -4  4 -4 4 4  4 -3” 3
Shatter the illusion of integrity. Y e a h

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
