D Intro Riff

Some folks look for answers others look for fights,

Some folks up in treetops just a looking for their kites.

Well, I can tell your future, whoah, just look what's in your hand,

But I can't stop for nothin' I'm just playing in the band.

Playin', playin' in the band.

Daybreak, daybreak on the land.

Standin' on a tower world at my command

You just keep a turnin' while I'm playing in the band.

And if a man among you got no sin upon his hand

Let him cast a stone at me for playing in the band.

Playin', playin' in the band.
