   Transcibed by TODDGARCIA@DELPHI.COM

CHORDS:  Standard 'G' and 'C' chords.
         (Bluesy 5th & 6th string chords will
          also work well)

TURNAROUND:  Play the following notes at the end
             of each verse:  D, C, B, A, G


[G]   We got the mother and the kids
      We got the guy and his date
      We all get mad, we all get late.
      Looks like somebody forgot about us,
      Standin' on the corner, waitin' for the bus.

[C]   Say, Hey Mr. Driver Man don't be slow
[G]   'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go.
[C]   Say, Hey Mr. Driver Man drive that thing fast.
[G]   My precious time keeps slippin' past.

[G]   Lets call the mayor, lets complain
      Looks like the city's done to us again
      Tied up in traffic, what do ya know
      The damn city bus moves so slow.

[C]   Say, Hey Mr. Driver Man don't be slow
[G]   'Cause I got somewhere I gotta go.
[C]   Say, Hey Mr. Driver Man drive that thing fast.
[G]   My precious time keeps slippin' past.

      (repeat 1st verse)
      (repeat 2nd verse)

Song: Rejoice & Be Happy
Artist: Violent Femmes
Album: Freak Magnet

Intro(Bass or Guitar)but bass is used on the Album:
Played on the low E string.
E---5---5-5---3-3------- x8

A                            D      A 
Rejoice & be happy when they revile you, 
A                    E      
just like the Savior told us to do. 
A                      D               A
Rejoice & be glad when for His name's sake, 
A                        E                         A
they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. 

Blessed are you who are persecuted too, 
for righteousness & the good that you do, 
if in the bread you put a little leaven, 
the Kingdom is yours & it's the Kingdom of Heaven. 

Rejoice & be happy when they revile you, 
just like the Savior told us to do. 
Rejoice & be glad when for His name's sake, 
they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. 

D              A
Ye are the salt of the earth, 
E
if you're not salty, 
(this goes to A or stays on E)
what are you worth? 

Rejoice & be ye exceedingly glad 
for great is the reward in Heaven to be had 
for the prophets they did persecute too, 
unjust though it was, they came way before you. 

Rejoice & be happy when they revile you, 
just like the Savior told us to do.
Rejoice & be glad when for His name's sake, 
they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. 

We are the salt of the earth,
if we're not salty, 
what are we worth? 

Rejoice & be happy when they revile you, 
just like the Savior told us to do. 
Rejoice & be glad when for His name's sake, 
they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate. 

Rejoice & be happy when they revile you, 
just like the Savior told us to do. 
Rejoice & be glad when for His name's sake, 
they speak all manner of evil and against you they hate.

All verses are the same A D A E

I was tierd to see that there were no chords for this song. So i did it myself.
Man I hope someone reads this part, and that I'm not just wasting me time. 
Love Your Polish Playmate,

I found this website with this on it....It's perfect...You still need to go find the solo though.

                     B A S S L I N E S:
   
   / = slide up    p = pull-off
   
   
   The INTRO is just this:
   
   G|-----------------|
   D|-2h3--2----------|
   A|--------5---1/2--| Then go straight away into the VERSE-BASSLINE.
   E|-----------------|
   
   
   OK, here's the VERSE-BASSLINE:
        G                     C           D
   G|-------------------------------------------------------|
   D|-------------5--5-3-2-------------------3p2---2--------|
   A|-------1/2-5----------5--3--2--3--0--5------5---0h2----|
   E|---3---------------------------------------------------|
   
   and sometimes, like the end of the verse, it goes like this:
   
        G                     C           D
   G|--------------------------------------------------|
   D|-------------5--5-3-2-----------------------------|
   A|-------1/2-5----------5--3--2--3--0--5--3--2--0---|
   E|---3----------------------------------------------|
   
   
   Now the CHORUS-BASSLINE:
       G                   C           D
   G|-------------------------------------------------|
   D|--5----3----2------------------------------------|
   A|-----------------5----3--2--3--0--5--3--2--0-----|
   E|-------------------------------------------------|
   
   
   And finally, the BRIDGE-BASSLINE:
       C                 G
   G|---------------------------------------------|
   D|---------------------------------2-----------|
   A|--3---2---0------------2-----5-5-----5--2----|
   E|--------------3-----3-----3------------------|
           |
    Play this three times and then this
                                     |
       C               D
   G|---------------------------------------------|
   D|---------------------------------------------|
   A|--3---2---0-------5-----3-5----5--3--2--0----|
   E|--------------3------------------------------|
   
   That should give you everything you need.
   Enjoy!
