 [Intro]
[G] [Em] [C] [D7]
 
[Verse]
[G] This is my up-[Em]-tempo folk song
[C] The one I use to [D]-start the show!
[G] My up-[Em]-tempo folk song,
[C] The kind every folk singer [A7] ought to [D] know!
[Em] The kind that sets your [Bm] toes a tapping and [C] makes you want to sing [D7] along.
[G] It's the one I stole from the[Em]  Kingston Trio
[C] Generic up-[D7]-tempo folk [G] song!
 
[Verse]
[G]  [D]
[Em] This is the middle of my up [D] tempo folk song
[C] It's called the second [D] verse
[G] You gotta sing it [Bm] warm and tender
[C] To make it sound [A7] different from the [D] first.
[Em] This is when I look at [Bm] all the people
Just to [C] see who is a-[D7]-round
[G] And if I sing the [Em] second verse softly 
[C] You all will usually quiet [D7] down.
 
[Bridge]
[Em] This is the bridge and it's really [B7] exciting
[Em] It follows a different [B7] plan
[Em] The purpose of the bridge is to [B7] get from the middle
[A] To the beginning of the [D] end!
 
[Verse]
[G] This is my up [Em] tempo folk song
[C] The end is drawing [D] near
[G] And by now you're so gosh-darn [Em] excited
[C] You want to stand right [D] up and cheer!
[C] So lets say "hurray" for our [A7] folk [D] survivors
[Em] May they sing forever [Bm] strong!
And [Em] for the land of the [Bm] brave and free
[C] Generic up [D7] tempo folk [G] song!

[Outro]
[G] So lets say "hurray" for our [Em] folk survivors
[C] May they sing forever [D7] strong
[G] May they shed a tear
Each [Em] time they [C] hear
A [C] Generic up [D] tempo folk [G] song! 
A [C] Generic
up [D] tempo
[G] folk song!
