Intro:

Dmaj9         Dmaj9(add 13!)      Dmaj9

         Em7      A11              Em7        Dmaj7
It's not high finance, it's called heart and soul

         Em7     A(add9)      Em7     Dmaj7
If it's rock and roll, got to go, go, go, go, go

            Gmaj7               A
Gonna keep moving on up to the higher ground

               Gmaj7                          A
Gonna keep on moving on up, I got to stand my ground

               Gmaj7                  A
Gonna keep on moving on up, I wanna stick around

(no real chord)        Bm    A   G
Won't let the bastards grind me down

(no real chord)        Bm    A   G
Won't let the bastards grind me down

(no real chord)        Bm    A   G
Won't let the bastards grind me down

        Dmaj7
Call me raincheck in the afternoon

         G                         A
Call me raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues

         Dmaj7
Call me raincheck, on a golden autumn day

         A                                    G
Call me raincheck, I won't fade away, I won't fade away

         G   D/F# A             G   D/F# A
I don't fade a----way, I don't fade a----way, unless I want to


Can't take my love away, ah 'cause it's here to stay
If it fades away, come back another day
Gonna keep on moving on up to the higher ground
Gonna keep on moving on up, I wanna stick around
Gonna keep on moving on up, oh gonna stand my ground
Won't let the bastards grind me down
Won't let the bastards grind me down
Won't let the bastards grind me down

My name is raincheck in the afternoon
My name is raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues
My name is raincheck, on a golden autumn day
My name is raincheck, and I don't fade away, I don't fade away
I don't fade away, I don't fade away, unless I want to

Move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up
Move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up
Move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up, move it up
Grind me down, grind me down, grind me down

My name is raincheck in the afternoon
My name is raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues
My name is raincheck, on a golden autumn day
My name is raincheck, and I don't fade away, I don't fade away
I don't fade away, I don't fade away, unless I want to

Put on your dancing shoes, dance away your blues
When I'm feeling like this, I got nothing to lose
Wanna keep on moving on up to the higher ground
Wanna keep on moving on up and I'll stick around
Wanna keep on moving on up, got to stand my ground
Won't let the bastards grind me down
Won't let the bastards grind me down
Oh, won't let the bastards grind me down

My name is raincheck in the afternoon
My name is raincheck, need a shot of rhythm and blues
My name is raincheck, on a golden autumn day
My name is raincheck, and I don't fade away, I don't fade away
I don't fade away, I don't fade away, unless I choose
I choose, I choose, I choose
