Verse 1
(D major) Ladies and gentlemen,
as I said to you earlier,
this is the first time
I've had (E major) the opportunity
of working with (D major) Nelson Riddle.
It's long been an ambition
of mine
and tonight this ambition
has been realized.
(E major) But he's been (D major) playing his music
and I've been singing my songs
(E major) and we haven't (D major) really got together
on something between us.
And I asked him,
would he please write an arrangement,
something special for me.
And here is Nelson Riddle's
special arrangement of Strike
Strike up the band! (A major) (D major) (G major) (E major) (A major)
(D major)
Let the (A major) drums (D major) roll (B minor) out
(D major) Let the trumpets call (B minor) (B major) (B minor) (B major)
While the (E major) people shout (A major)
Strike up the (D major) band (G major)
Hear (D major) (G major) the cymbals ring
Zing, zing, zing, calling one and (E major) all
to that happy (A major) (D major) swing.
Strike up the band (G major)
(C major) an (G major) d (A major) we'll (F sharp major) all give
a (D major) cheer as we stand
to (G major) the (D major) (E major) man with the
stick in his hand. (F sharp major)
He's the man (B minor) whose
command of the (E major) band
makes the band
(A major) and you (D major) can't go wrong
with a happy song. (F sharp major) (B major) (E minor)
Hey leader, (A major) strike up the (D major) band.
