Verse 1
(E minor) (A major) (B major) (E minor) (B major) (C sharpdim)
(E minor) (C sharpdim) Gather (E minor) round me,
everybody (A major)
(C sharpdim) Gather (E minor) round me, (C sharpdim) (A major) while (E minor) I pray, sir
I feel (B major) a certain blood (A major) coming on me
(D minor) Now (B major) (A major) the (B major) topic will be sin
(A major) An d that's what (B major) I'm against
So if you (D sharp major) want to hear (E minor) my story (C sharpdim)
(E minor) Why then settle back and just (C sharpdim)
sit (C major) tight (E minor) (D sharp major)
(B major) While I'm review (A major) ing
the attitude (B major) of doing right (E minor) (B major)
You got to ac (G sharp major) cept that
(B major) you ate the positive
and (A major) he (B major) ate the (G sharp major) neg ative
(C sharp major) I made the (B major) negative,
(D sharp major) that's all (B major) to (E minor) the affirmative
Don't (A major) mess with (B major) Mr. (A major) Inbetween
(C sharp minor) You (B major) gotta spread joy
(A major) up to the maximum,
bring (B major) gloom down to (A major) the minimum
(B major) An (E minor) (D sharp major) d have faith,
(B major) (E minor) the pandemonium's (A major) lifeboat
to (B major) walk (A major) upon the (B major) sea
To (D sharp major) illus (A major) trate (B major) my last remark,
(E minor) are they in the (A major) way?
No, they aren't (B major)
What do (D sharp major) they do
(B major) just (A major) when everything (B major) looks so dark?
(F sharp major) So dark
(B major) And they said,
(D sharp major) we'd better accen (B major) tuate (E minor) the positive in (A major) a let (G sharp major) ter.
I (B major) need the negative.
Latch (D sharp major) on to the af (E minor) firmative.
(A major) Don't mess with Mr. Inbetween.
(E minor) No, don't (A major) mess with (B major) Mr. Inbetween.
(C sharp minor) (E major) (A major) (B major) (E major) (E minor)
(D sharp major) Now (E minor) this (E major) is (B major) Reverend
(D sharp major) Ray McKinley now harkin' to me
While I tell you about the parable
of Norman (E major) Dee.
(C sharp minor) The (B major) devil (E minor) said to Hitler,
(D sharp major) why they would (E minor) n't dare
They (D sharp major) can't nobody land in Europe
at least, not there
And even if they tried,
you could snag them for fair
You (E minor) could (D sharp major) shoot them from the beaches
and bomb them from the air
And just to make sure,
you've nothing to fear
I got the Emperor Hirohito
to cover the rear
But the Lord (E major) said to Winnie
and to (B flat major) Franklin D
And I'll gather round, boys,
and (D sharp major) listen (B flat major) to me
Uncle (E major) Joe's been a -carry
in' lot (E major) s of the (F minor) load
But now you got the stuff, go on, hit the road
(E major) I know it ain't been done
on a (A major) beach (E major) like that
(C major) But I (F minor) think that together
you can take that cap
If you accentuate the positive,
(F minor) June the 6th
They (D sharp major) did and now the (B major) devil's in a heck of a fix (F sharp major)
(B major) (F sharp major) (D sharp major)
(B major) (D sharp major) (B major) (F sharp major) (B major) (D sharp major) (A sharp major) (B major)
(A major) (B major) (F sharp major)
(D sharp major) Hey, hey, hey, hey,
I wish you boys wouldn't
mess (D major) around (G sharp major) like that
(B major) Negative (D sharp major) kind of jazz music.
Let's brighten it up a little bit
here.
(B flat major) (D sharp major)
(B flat major)
Verse 2
(D sharp major)
No, no, no, that's not it at all.
That's that in -between job.
What's the matter
with you boys back there?
Lay some positive jazz
on the congrega (D sharp major) tion. (G sharp major)
(F minor) (B flat major) (D sharp major) (D sharp major)
(B flat major)
(D sharp major) To illustrate (B flat major) my last re (D sharp major) mark,
Jonah in (D sharp major) the well, (B flat major) Noah (D sharp major) in the ark.
What did they do,
just when everything (C major) looked so (D sharp major) dark? (B flat major)
Man, they said better
(D sharp major) accentuate the positive,
feel (B major) eliminate the (D sharp major) negative.
Be sure to latch on to the affirmative,
don't (F minor) mess with (B flat major) Mr. In (D sharp major) -Between.
Oh, don't (D sharp major) mess with Mr.
In -Between.
Accentuate (B flat major) the positive,
eliminate the negative.
(B major) Don't mess with Mr. In -Between.
Mr. In -Between.
(D sharp major) (D sharp major)
