Music Speaks Louder than Words

Peter Paul Mary

133
Performed by Peter, Paul and Mary
Chorus:
C Music speaks louder than  G words,
It's the  F only  G thing that the  F whole  C world  G listens to.
C Music speaks louder than  G words,
When you  F sin C g,  G   people under C stand.
C Sometimes the  F love that you feel  G inside
Gets  C lost between your heart and your  Am mind,
And the  F words don't really  G say the things you wanted them  C to.
But then you  F hear in someone's  G song
What you'd been  C trying to say all  Am along,
And  F somehow with the magic of music the message comes  G through.
Chorus.
The longer I live, the more I find,
That people seldom take the time
To really get to know a stranger and make him a friend.
But the power of a simple song
Can make everybody feel they belong.
Maybe singing and playing can bring us together again.
Chorus.
That  F mus C ic  G   speaks louder than  C words.
Chorus.
