Intro 1
(G major)
(G minor) I was told
Verse 1
(G major) not long ago that
I can't talk the way I do
Singers shouldn't share their current
affairs or worldly views
Sayin' (C major) something off the wall just
might bend folks outta shape
Hard workin' (G major) people spend their
paychecks to show up and escape
So put a plug (F major) in what you think (C major)
Man, shut up and sing

Verse 2
So I pulled out my guitar and
I (Gsus4) gave it a strum (G major)
And I thought about the way I'd
(Gsus4) lay it out there (G major) if one
Lone song (C major) was all I had to make
it all make half- sense
To put some (G major) heart back on the forefront,
(Gsus4) collective consciousness
(G major) Can't be (F major) dead as my six strings
I (C major) wondered what would
I shut up (G major) an d sing
Then it hit me
Verse 3
Shut up and (F major) sing, Lord,
have mercy on all us earthly fools
There's (G major) poison in our rhetoric
and bullets in our schools
So I'll (F major) sing what the hell
is going on around here
Let's take these (G major) blinders off our eyes
and pull the cotton from our ears
Until some (B flat major) body says something
and means something (F major)
I'll shut up and sing
(G major)
Verse 4
(Gsus4)
Some (G major) times saying nothing says it
all and then some more
Conjecture causes bull and
fuels unnecessary wars
(C major) Poets know hiding the truth somewhere
between the lines
Somehow (G major) makes it seem worth
more for those looking to find
Some (F major) answers to the troubles
this life (C major) brings so
They shut up and sing
(G major)
Verse 5
Shut up and (F major) sing, Lord,
forgive us for we know not what we do
There's (G major) shouting from the mountains
down to south border towns too
Shut up and (F major) sing,
what the hell is going on around here
Let's take these (G major) blinders off our eyes
and pull the cotton from our ears
'Til some (B flat major) body says something
that means something
(F major) I'll shut up and sing

Verse 6
Song (G minor) s got (G major) ways of going places
folks have never been
From one side of the world,
'round and 'round and back again
(C major) Universal unity ain't realistic, naw
Aw, but (G major) who says we can't run
one for the hell of it all?
You never know (F major) how true
a melody might (C major) ring
'Til you shut up and (G major) sing
