Verse 2:
E
Once I went to hear them play,
     E
At a club outside of town,
  D   E
I was so surprised, I was hypnotized,
       E                          D  A  E
By the sound these cats put down,
E
When I saw this short, fat guy,
          E
Stretch a band between his toes,
       E
Hey, I laughed so hard,
           E
'Cause the man got down,
        E
When it finally reached his nose.

When the rubberband starts to jam.

D D D E E E   G      E
           Up on his toes,
D D D E E E          A           G
         And then he wriggled it up,
D D D E E E   G         E
         All around his nose.


Verse 2:

Guaranteed to blow your mind,
D                  E  E
(Du du du du du du du du),
E                       E
Playin' all that music, yet keepin' time,
D                  E  E
(Du du du du du du du du),
                   E      E     E
Where in the world did he learn that, oh, Lord,
 E
(Du du du du du),
E
Lord, help him get away.

      Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, uh,
D D D E E E                   G     E

     Choo, choo, choo, choo, choo, uh,

Rubberband man, rubberband man, uh,
D
(Du du  ),
D                                         E
How much of this stuff do he think we can stand, uh, huh?
D
(Du du  ),
D                                       E
So much rhythm, grace, and debonair for one man, Lord,
D
(Du du  ),
D                                             E E
And then he had the nerve to twiggle his left toe,
                        E E                D      E
Slip it through his knee
got the feeling in his head, y'all,
 E
(Du du du du du),
    E
Aw, come on, baby.


Chorus:

Hey, y'all, prepare yourself (won't you prepare yourself, hear me),
        D          Bm
For the rubberband man,
C            G
You've never heard a sound, (never heard a sound),
         D          D Bm
Like the rubberband man, (Aw, he's the man),
C               G
You're bound to lose control, (and he likes to jam),
         D          D      E
When the rubberband starts to jam.


Post-Chorus 3:
D D D E E E        A          G
     Rubberband man starts to jam,
D D D E E E        G         E
Moving up and down cross the land,
D D D E E E            A      G
    Got the people all in his wake,
D D D E E E         G           E
Everything probably seems outta place.
