Chords for Blackberry Smoke Interview At Ramblin' Man Fair 2018

_ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [C] So [D] I'm with a band now that actually have, I suppose we could call it a soundtrack to
Rambling Man.
It is [Eb] Blackberry Smoke.
Because [Cm] you actually have a song, [Ab] don't you, called
[Bb] I'll Keep Rambling.
Yeah.
So I feel like that's perfect.
Are you going to perform that today?
[F] No.
No?
[Bb] What?
[Cm] I guess we should, right?
You missed a trick there.
So many things.
[F] Well,
you know Led Zeppelin didn't put [Cm] _ the song Houses of [D] the Holy on Houses [Bb] of the Holy.
Exactly.
So that's what we were_
So that's what you're trying to do.
I get you.
I like
when you come in with that.
That's just [Ab] our excuse.
Yeah.
Sort of.
[Fm] So are you having fun?
Absolutely.
The weather's beautiful.
Yeah.
[C] And I saw that you've been hanging out with
Tyler Bryan and [Fm] Hailstorm and_
Yeah.
Good buddies of yours?
Good buddies, yeah.
That's
our first time meeting [F] Hailstorm, but [Bb] Tyler's been on tour with us in the States.
So we're
[Ab] old friends.
[Bb] And you've been on tour with Government Mule, haven't you, as well?
[C] Yes.
And they're here.
They're here, yeah.
What are those guys like to [C] hang out with?
Fantastic.
Yeah.
Great friends.
Great, great band.
Legendary [F] musicians.
So [C] do you feel like you're quite
at home here at Rambling Man, or in my barn at least?
[Cm] Your barn.
Especially in your barn.
Especially in my barn, yeah.
It is quite cozy, [C] isn't it?
It is, yeah.
_ [Cm] You've been in the
industry for quite a [Fm] while.
You're on your sixth album.
How many years have you been
together?
Like 18 years or something?
18 years.
[Bb] But it kind of feels like you're a
new [C] band.
I mean, to us anyway, over here [Bb] in the UK.
That's insane, isn't it?
It is.
I like that.
How does it feel for you?
Do you like [F] that?
It's better to be considered
[C] new [Fm] than old.
_ That is very true [Cm] indeed.
I disagree, but you know the old [Fm] saying, out
with the new, in with the old.
[C] Yeah.
Right.
You know what I'm [Fm] saying?
Right.
[C] So you like
that.
[Cm] Okay.
I get you.
[C] I get you.
_ So do you think that you have to have a colourful [Db] life
to write a good song?
_ I [C] don't think so.
I think you can _ _ [Fm] watch other people live a [Bbm] colourful
life and just [Cm] write about them.
_ [Fm]
So when you're writing, [Cm] how true to your life are your songs? _
Or do [Fm] you tend to write about other people?
[C] Both.
Yeah?
It's easier to write about yourself
[D] because it's hard to pay attention. _ _
[Gm] Like somebody [Eb] was telling me the other day, like
when you're walking around, how many [Cm] times do you ever look at somebody's shoes or do
[Fm] you look up? _ _ _ _
[F] Okay.
So look up people and [F] look down at other people's shoes.
[Cm]
What's next
for you guys then?
_ We'll just continue [D] to tour.
We'll go home Monday, tomorrow.
[C] _ Tour
through the summer in the States [Fm] and then we'll come back to Europe in [Bbm] the UK in the
fall for six weeks.
Yeah.
[Fm] _ _ Okay.
That's it.
That's [Cm] it.
Tour, tour, tour.
_ [C] Do you enjoy
touring?
Yes.
Yeah.
Why do you like it?
It's addictive. _
[Bbm] Now if you sit [Bb] still for too long
now, I think Britt will agree, you [Bb] get a little itchy.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Fm] Rarely ever on tour do you play, you
know, two nights [Cm] in the same place even.
It's always play and leave and play [F] and leave and
play and leave.
So it becomes [Fm] a lifestyle.
Yeah.
Yeah.
[C] Sure.
Now Billy [Bb] Gibbons has a
new album coming out.
[Cm] So do you have, have you met him?
Do you have any antidotes or
any [Ebm] stories [Fm] basically of meeting him?
Yeah.
We're old friends.
[C] And speaking of shoes,
[Fm] he gave us some advice years ago that said, get rid of the monitors [C] on stage so people
can see your feet.
People [Cm] need to, they pay good money for a ticket.
They need to see
your entire body [Db] from your head to your toes and go buy some [C] nice boots.
So did you take
that advice on board?
We [F] did.
And you've got some nice boots for today?
[Bbm] Absolutely.
Not
as nice as his, but you know, [F] all his ideas were very expensive, but that's one of the
[Cm] many things we love about Billy Gibbons.
Yeah.
He's [D] like, stop using a tour [Bb] bus, get yourself
a [Gm] shuttle, a space [C] shuttle. _ _ _
[Bb] Amazing.
That's some good [F] advice.
I'm liking that.
So everyone
that comes into the barn, we [Cm] like to raid their pockets.
So could you reveal what's
in your pockets, please?
_ _ [Db] _ _ _
Gum.
[Cm] Gum.
_ [C] _ _ _ Gum and cell phone.
[Bbm] Is there anything we could steal
to give away in a competition? _
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
We could take your [F] gum and put it in there.
_ _ [B]
If anybody wants
[Ab] Warren Haynes' phone number.
_ [D] Let's do it.
Brilliant.
Okay.
Well, listen, thank you so
much.
It's been great chatting to you and enjoy rambling then.
[Eb] Thank you for having
us. Thanks.
