    G - F

 

     Am            D7                         

1. Hey kids, shake it loose together,

              G

    the spotlight's hitting something

                          E

    that's been known to change the weather.

Am                             D7                               Em

    We'll kill the fatted calf tonight, so stick around,

                Am                           Bm                           C

    you're gonna hear electric music, solid walls of sound.

 

          G

Say, Candy and Ronnie, have you seen them yet,

Am                                             C

oh, but they're so spaced out, Bennie and the Jets.

 G

Oh, but they're weird and they're wonderful,

       Am                                                      C                       D

oh, Bennie, she's really keen, she's got electric boots, a mohair suit,

                    Em                              D      C  - F                           G     - F

you know, I read it in a magazine, oho, oh,      Bennie and the Jets.

 

     Am           D7

2. Hey kids, plug into the faithless,

       G                                       E

    maybe they're blinded, but Bennie makes them ageless.

Am                   D                                        Em

    We shall survive, let us take ourselves along,

                     Am                                       Bm

    where we fight our parents out in the streets

                                                      C

    to find who's right and who's wrong.

 

+ CHORUS    + instrumental = verse 2      + CHORUS

     Bennie. Bennie.  Bennie.           Bennie. Bennie.  Bennie….
