Bob Weir - What's In My Bag? chords
Start Jamming...
[Em] [Gbm] Hi, I'm Bobby Weir and we're at [A] Amoeba and this is What's in My [D] Bag.
Is there anything a man don't stand to lose?
When the devil [A] wants to take it all away.
Cherish well your thoughts, keep a tight grip on your booze.
Cause making and drinking [Em] are all I [A] have today.
[D]
[Em] First things first, bring this [G] out.
[E] Oh, right, this is [B] Miles Davis' classic record.
Everybody's heard [E]
these tunes [Dm] a million times.
[Em] And people keep playing them.
[B] [Em] What is it, 60 years later?
[B] He so [E] changed the entire [Db] idiom and the way [Em] music was conceived
and what people expected [D] of music.
[F] He just changed it.
He changed [G] everything.
[C]
[G] [Am]
[F] [Em] [Eb] This is the new Wilco record and I don't have it yet and I've not heard it yet.
I've heard a few of their tunes.
But they're a good band.
They [Bbm] listen to each other, they play off each other, all that kind of stuff.
And they've been together for years so they know how to [Ab] rise and fall together
and all that kind of stuff.
They have great dynamics.
[Bbm] And [Eb] good songwriting and good music and great interplay.
A real solid American [A] band.
[D]
[C] My soul goes [A] on.
I can't [C] be loved.
Can't [G] even try.
[Gm] [G] [C] This is a nice little compendium and I don't have it.
You know, [B] I'm a huge Ellen Wolf [Em] fan.
He was a monster.
[G] Grab your [Bb] [G] telephone.
Something [Gm] just ain't right.
[C] That's evil.
[Gm] Evil is going on [G] wrong.
[C] This one's another blues record.
[G] My old pal Taj Mahal.
And it's Hula Blues Band.
I've not heard it.
[Em] And [G] so I've got to give this [Eb] one a listen.
[Ab] Oh, darling, please take [Eb] off your shoes.
[Cm] Ah, slice me [Gm] some [Bb] chessie and give me the blues, [Eb] my dear.
[A] I'm not entirely sure this is my favorite of their records, but it's one of them.
This is the era I think that they might have [E] been dabbling with LSD a little [Fm] bit.
You don't [Bbm] look different, [Ab] but you [Eb] have changed.
[Ab]
I'm [Bbm] looking through you.
[Db] You're [Ab] not the same.
Bessie Smith, I don't have this collection.
[B] I'd totally forgotten [Cm] about Bessie Smith until a few nights back.
I was [F] playing in Mill Valley at a little club there with Ramblin' Jack Elliot,
and he does a couple of Bessie tunes, and [Ab] I [Db] was backing him up basically,
and we did Mean [Gb] Old Bedbug Blues, [C] and oh, that's right.
[Ab]
[Ebm] These [C] songs are great.
She [Fm] really had something going [Db] back then.
And I'd totally forgotten it.
So I'm [E] going [Ab] to [Db] sit down with this stuff and see what I can't glean from [D] it.
Oh, [Bm] [A] no, oh, can [D] it not.
[Am] This is Africa Brass.
That particular tune, [Em] Africa Brass, was my introduction [Gbm] to [Ab] [G] Joan.
[A] [Em] Boy, did that [Am] snap my eyes wide open.
Not everyone could see the new [Em] vistas that he [Am] was [G] showing them.
[Em] [Ab]
[Gm] [Bb]
[Fm] [Bbm] [Eb] [Fm]
His [Dbm] offering was essential to [N] what's [Ab] become of it
and what is to [Bb] become of [Cm] American musical heritage.
This is [Gm] another one of his, and it [F] has one of my favorite of his tunes, [B] Tunji.
[Gbm] I [B]
[A] steal licks and I steal [B] [Em] chordal progressions and stuff from that, right and left.
I will [Bm] continue to [E]
[B] [Gbm] endlessly.
Cool.
[E] Thank you so much for talking with us [G] today.
You bet.
