[Chorus]

              D
[tab]                   G         D
To another town, a different song

                  G     D
And the audiences come along

                 G      Em
To hear the music play

                   D
So together we can walk awhile

                        G       D
Bring your fiddle tune, dancing style

                        C     G
And we're ready for the weary mile

      A           G
It's another day
[Verse]
A                         G
Peggie on the bass with a smiling face

   C                G
He loves the Breton waves

C                       G
Never more happy in the seaside air

         Am                D
With his sunburnt face, he plays

                   G
Simon picks such a cool guitar

       C          G
From a California maker

   C                  G
He came along for the very first song

 Am                D
Original mover and shaker
[Chorus]
              D
Our bus rolls on

                   G         D
To another town, a different song

                  G     D
And the audiences come along

                 G      Em
To hear the music play

                   D
So together we can walk awhile

                        G       D
Bring your fiddle tune, dancing style

                        C     G
And we're ready for the weary mile

It's another day

A                    G
Ric's so hip, he's a fiddler fine

     C               G
With beautiful instrumentals

      C               G
He'll take you to Portmeirion

       Am                 D
On the black-and-white TV rental

               G
Gerry sits and keeps the pace

    C               G
His way is time and groove

  C           G
A giant of percussive sound

    Am                      D
His hands are always on the move

A                     G
I love strings, those kind of things

   C               G
To write a song or two

  C                    G
I have no fear when my friends appear

     Am            D
It's all I want to do

                     G
The time it goes and comes around

C               G
Fifty years and counting

       C                  G
Here's to the band called family

    Am                   D
And those blown off that mountain
[Chorus]

Our bus rolls on
