Intro: (D6-A7)
Chorus 1
The(D)instruments of the(A)orchestra(G)all play so(G/A)diffe(A7)rent(D6)ly.(G)Some play up high,
(F#m7)Some play down(Bm7)low, but(E7sus4)all are(E7)needed for the(A7)sym(G)pho(A7)ny.
Verse 1
The(D)violin plays a lovely melody. The vi(A7)ola adds a pretty(D)harmony.(G)In comes the(A)cello
With a(F#m7)sound so sweet and(Bm)mellow, the(E7)double bass plays as low as(A7)low(Em7)can(A)be.
Verse 2
The(D)piccolo plays a tune so very high. The(A7)flute sings happily so(D)clear and bright.
The(G)clarinet plays(A7)sweetly, the(F#m7)oboe answers(Bm)softly,
And(E7)soon the bassoon comes in with(A)his(G)re(A7)ply.
Chorus 2
The(D)instruments of the(A)orchestra(G)all play so diffe(A)rent(D6)ly.(G)Some play up high,
(F#m7)Some play down(Bm7)low, but(E7sus4)all are(E7)needed for the(A7)symphony.
Like(D)instruments in the(A)orchestra,(G)we all must(F#7sus4)play(F#7)our(Bm)part.
(E7)Whatever(G#dim)you are(D)needed to(B7)do,(Em7)Do it with(G)all(A7)your(D)heart.
Verse 3
The(D)trumpet plays with a loud and ringing sound. The(A7)trombone’s slide can go(D)up and down.
The(G)sound of the(A)horn is(F#m7)soft and round and(Bm7)warm,
And the(E7)chubby tuba plays the(A7)low(G)bass(A7)line.
Verse 4
The(D6)harp plays softly with a lovely rippling song. (A7)Hear the ringing of the (D)bells and gongs.
The(G)funny xylo(A7)phone has a(F#m7)sound that’s all its(Bm7)own,
While(E7)drums and cymbals crash so(A7)loud(G)and(A7)strong.
Chorus 3
The(D)instruments of the(A)orchestra(G)all play so diffe(A7)rent(D6)ly.(G)Some play up high,
(F#m7)Some play down(Bm7)low, but(E7sus4)all are(E7)needed for the(A7)sym(G)pho(A7)ny.
Like(D)instruments in the(A7)orchestra,(G)we all must(F#7sus4)play(F#7)our(Bm)part.
(E7)Whatever(G#dim)you are(D)needed to(B7)do,(Em7)do it with(G)all(A7)your(D)heart.
Bridge
(Gm7)Sometimes a(Bb/C)piano,(Fmaj7)sometimes a guitar,
(Gm7)With the orches(Bbm/C)tra they will(F)play(Gm)their(Fmaj7)part.
(G#m7)Sometimes there are(C#7)singers,(F#maj7)sometimes a whole choir,
But there’s(Bm7)always a con(E7)ductor to(A)keep them(Adim)all in(A7)time.
Chorus 4
Like(D)instruments in the(A7)orchestra,
(Some play so high, some play so low, some play so fast, some play so slow.)
(G)We all must(F#7sus4)play (F#7)our(Bm)part.
(The instruments all play so differently.)
All are(F#7)needed for the(Bm)sym(F#7)pho(D7)ny.
(G)Whatever(G#dim)you are(D7)need(C#7)ed(C7)to(B7)do,(Em7)do it with(A7)all your(F#m7)heart(B7),
(Em7)Do it with(A7)all your(F#m7)heart(B7),(Em7)do it with(E7)all(A7)your(D)heart.(Gm6-D6)
