Do You Believe In Magic?
The Lovin' Spoonful (John Sebastian, 1965)
Intro:
| [Dm] [Em] | [F] [Em] |
| [Dm] [Em] | [1/2F] | [G] |
| [G] Do you believe in | [C] magic in a | [F] young girl's heart?
How the | [C] music can free her, when- | [F] ever it starts
And it's | [C] magic, if the | [F] music is groovy
It | [C] makes you feel happy like an | [F] old- time movie
I'll | [Dm] tell you about the [Em] magic, and it'll | [F] free your [Em] soul
But it's like | [G] trying to tell a stranger 'bout, | rock and roll |
| [G] If you believe in | [C] magic don't | [F] bother to choose
If it's | [C] jug band music or | [F] rhythm and blues
Just go and | [C] listen it'll | [F] start with a smile
It won't | [C] wipe off your face no matter | [F] how hard you try
Your | [Dm] feet start [Em] tapping and you | [F] can't seem to [Em] find
How you | [G] got there, so just | blow your mind |
| [F] | [F] | [C] | [C]
| [F] [Em] | [F] [Em] | [G] | [G] |
| [G] If you believe in | [C] magic, come a- | [F] long with me
We'll | [C] dance until morning 'til there's | [F] just you and me
And | [C] maybe, if the | [F] music is right
I'll | [C] meet you tomorrow, sort of | [F] late at night
And | [Dm] we'll go [Em] dancing baby, | [F] then you'll [Em] see
How the | [G] magic's in the music and the | music's in me |
| [F] Yeah... | do you believe in | [C] magic | [C]
Yeah, | [F] believe in the [Em] magic of a young | [F] girl's [Em] soul
Be- | [F] lieve in the [Em] magic of | [F] rock and [Em] roll
Be- | [F] lieve in the [Em] magic that can | [F] set you [Em] free |
| [G] Ohh... | talking 'bout the | [F] magic |
| [F] Do you believe in | [C] magic... |
| [C] Do you believe, be- | [F] lieve... |
| [F] Do you believe in | [C] magic | [C↓]
