[Verse 1]
Bm                             Em
Davo's polishing an antique Strat
Bm
That no musician could afford
Bm                                        Em
He's got himself a twin and a pork pie hat
Bm
He's got himself a new jazz chord
Em                    F             Em
He rang up Madder but Madder's not sure
Em                                       D
If his wife's gonna let him off the leash
         Bm                                    Em
He says, "Madder, I'm getting the band back together
  Bm
I need ya, brother, capiche?"


[Pre-Chorus]
G#m             G
All across town, the word's out
     C#m             F#
It's all everybody's talkin' about and they are


[Chorus]
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together


[Verse 2]
Bm                                Em
The Mad Dog's rustled up a Tama kit
Bm
In a nitro sparkle shade o' red
Bm                                       Em
He's booking 'em out, set 'em up for a hit
Bm
In a corner of the backyard shed
Em                         F
The boot shop's kitted out bassman Viv
       Em                          D
With a bad pair of snakeskin shoes
    Bm                                     Em
His girlfriend's given him an apricot rinse
        Bm
All the better for playing the blues


[Pre-Chorus]
G#m                 G
All that fire   and all that belly
    C#m                      F#
The bottom end's tighter than Byron and Shelley (and they are)


[Chorus]
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together   yeah they're
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, you know they're
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together


[Pre-Chorus]
G#m                 G
Life is good with the kids all gone
    C#m                      F#
But it's all been too quiet,    too long and they are


[Chorus]
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together


[Solo]
Bm       Bm   Em  Bm       Bm   E
Bm       Bm   Em  Bm       Bm   Em
Em       F        Em       A    D
Bm       Bm   Em  Bm       Bm


[Bridge]
C                    G
Somewhere out in the great beyond
C#m7                 Bm7
Biggie is singing forever
C                   Bm7
Even now that the weekend's coming
G                        F#7
Getting the band back together


[Chorus]
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, getting the band
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, I wanna sing it
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, yes they are
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, hey (get it back together)
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, hey, hey, hey, hey
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, oh, yeah
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together   ooooh
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, together, baby
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together   ooooh
Bm                             Em
Getting the band back together, I said they're
Bm                              Bm
Getting the band back together
