This is repeated throughout the song over the C F# progression. I just indicated an open C chord to illustrate the rythym of the C portion of the progression. You can play any form of the C chord you want. C F# Vigor, vim, vitality and punch C F# The ability to act on a sudden hunch F G Nerve to tackle the hardest thing F G With feet that climb and hands that cling F G A heart that never forgets to sing A D/A That's pep A D/A That's pep A D/A B E D (Then back to tab note 1) for 4 bars That's pep C F# Sand and grit in a concrete base C F# A friendly smile on an honest face F G Spirit that helps when another's down F G Know how to tackle the blackest frown F G Loves it's neighbor, loves it's town A D/A That's pep A D/A That's pep A D/A That's pep B E (then to tab note 2 below) That's pep
