just he and I, bass and guitar.
One of the best things I've ever done.
[G#] He played, we did all those wonderful songs
like Shenandoah and
Oh, you do Shenandoah?
You know, I haven't done it for 30 years, I guess.
That was 25 years ago?
I think that [E] was down in Sumner.
[A#] Now you're on the spot, you have to remember the changes.
I [E] didn't know.
And you know, he played [Em]
every
The [A#] place next to the river there?
Oh yeah, [E] Antons.
Antons, right.
Was in there, a special party for [Em] Warren Cook.
Oh, right.
He had a homecoming.
It was a fun party.
But that was the best job I ever had in my life.
I know you [A] told me that many, many times.
I wish it was [G] recorded.
Cause he played [Em] slides and
I never heard [Gm] him play like that.
[A] Yeah, we just, [G] the two of us played every time.
I never heard him do the stuff that he [A#] did, you know?
[C] I would just Well, Jerry
Don't go from there, [D#] Jerry.
Don't hold back.
[A#] Okay.
Did he ask for a raise?
I think it's the right time, I guess.
[C#m] I can do Shenandoah.
I might not be able to do it.
Oh, [E] that's a view.
I'll tell you how [E] much different my keys are now
[F] than they were when I was doing it those days.
[E] Later on after you
[A#m] You wanna sing along with [E] me now?
If I find something, but I'm not gonna do like these guys,
I'm not gonna get in the way.
[A] It's so nice [B] when you do it.
If I know something.
Shenandoah, I long to see you
Go [A] away, you [E] rolling river
Oh [C#] Shenandoah, [C#m] I long [E] to see [A] you
[E] Away, I'm bound [B] away
Across the wide [E] Missouri
Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Go [A] away, you [E] rolling river
[C#m] Shenandoah, [C#] I [E] love your daughter
[A] [F#] [E] Away, I'm bound away
Across the [B] wide Missouri
[E]
[A]
[E]
I'm trying to think of the words.
[C#m] Know the words?
There are a lot of [E] different words here.
I wanna talk to you.
Maybe you got some you can show me.
[B] And you have to let me [E] have
I take it on a meter, but that's intentional.
It's not a mistake, okay?
Shenandoah, I long to see you
Go [A] away, you [E] rolling river
[C#m] Shenandoah, I long [E] to see you
[A] Away, [E]
I'm bound away
Across the wide [B] [E] Missouri
Yellowbird, [B] fly up in the [E] nanarchy
Yellowbird, [C#] you sit [B] all alone [E] like me
[A] You're a dear friend, but you're lost [B] again
That is very [E] sad, it makes [F#] me feel so [A] sad
And you fly [E] away, in the sky [B] away
You're more of [E] me than he
Wish that I were [F#m] a yellowbird
[B] I'd fly away [E]
like you
But I am not [F#m] a yellowbird
[B] I'm looking here alone, what else can [E] I do?
Yellowbird, [B] fly up in the nanarchy
[E] [B] [E] Yellowbird, [C#] you sit all [E] alone like me
[A] You're a dear [E] friend, but you're lost [B] again
That is very [E] sad, it makes me feel so [A] sad
And you fly away, [E] in the sky [B] away
You're more lucky [E] than me
[D#]
[E] Yellowbird
That [Em] was probably a weird harmony
It was good, but I couldn't do it lower
That
One of the best things I've ever done.
