I GOTTA SING

Words and music by Lachlan Irvine

[C][F][G]

[C] I gotta sing when I'm [F] feeling [C] good,
[C] I gotta sing when the [F] news is [C] bad.
[C] I gotta sing when some-[F]-body [C] loves me, [Am]
I gotta [F] sing when I've just [G] been [C] had.

[C] I gotta sing when the [F] sun is [C] shining,
[C] I gotta sing in the [F] pouring [C] rain.
[C] I gotta sing when my [F] heart is [C] smiling, [Am]
I gotta [F] sing through my [G] darkest [C] pain.

[C] Music is a soother, music is a healer,
[C] Music conquers [F] every-[C]-thing.
[C] Open up your heart, find the song that's inside you,
[C] Come on, let me [F] hear you [G] sing.

I gotta [C] sing, sing, sing, sing, [F] sing, sing [C] sing.
I gotta [C] sing, sing, sing, sing, [F] sing, sing [G] sing.

[C] I gotta sing when the [F] spirit [C] moves me,
[C] I gotta sing when my [F] mood is [C] blue.
[C] I gotta sing when the [F] dawn is [C] breaking, [Am]
I gotta [F] sing when the [G] day is [C] through.

[C] I gotta sing when I'm [F] stuck in [C] traffic,
[C] I gotta sing when the [F] road is [C] clear.
[C] I gotta sing when I'm [F] all a-[C]-lone, [Am]
I gotta [F] sing when my [G] friends are [C] near.

[C] Music is the answer, whatever the question,
[C] Summer, Winter, [F] Autumn or [C] Spring.
[C] Let's get together, magic can happen,
[C] Come on, let me [F] hear you [G] sing.

I gotta [C] sing, sing, sing, sing, [F] sing, sing [C] sing.
I gotta [C] sing, sing, sing, sing, [F] sing, sing [G] sing.
I gotta [C] sing, sing, sing, sing, [F] sing, sing [C] sing.
I gotta [C] sing, sing, sing, sing, [F] sing, sing [G] sing.
I gotta [C] sing.
