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


      A           G
It's another day

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

Our bus rolls on

To another town, a different song

And the audiences come along


                 G      Em
To hear the music play

So together we can walk awhile

Bring your fiddle tune, dancing style


                        C     G

He'll take you to Portmeirion

On the black-and-white TV rental


               G
Gerry sits and keeps the pace


    C               G
His way is time and groove

A giant of percussive sound


    Am                      D
His hands are always on the move

I love strings, those kind of things

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
