I was on a bus coming back to us [G] from Atlanta in the 53
[D] And I picked up a rhythm blues magazine [A] laying underneath my seat
And [D] I found out the stuff they've been playing us [G] wasn't made from grits [D] and bones
And it'd take more than the crew cuts and [A] Tadpoon to take me [D] home
[A] I want the real thing, work with me Annie, [G] the real thing
All night late, make [D] it loud and I'll make you proud of the songs [A] they'd sing
Annie, I want you [D] under my roof with your 86 brook [G] watered down till it tastes like [A] cake
You're [D] gonna pull my string, make it the real thing
And I remember old Elvis, he forgot to [G] remember to forget
And when young Johnny Cash hadn't seen this side [A] of the big river yet
And [D] when sun was more than the daylight shining [G] on Memphis, Tennessee
[D] And old Luther and Lewis and Perkins was picking [A] and playing them songs to [D] me
[A] I want the real thing, train to love, give me [G] the real thing
Leave in my heart [D] loud and I'll make you proud of the songs [A] they'd sing
Everybody's baby but mine's gonna want [D] you under my roof with your 86 brook [G] watered down till it tastes [D] like tea
You're gonna pull my string, make it the real thing for me
And
[G] [D]

[D] when sun was more than the daylight shining [G] on Memphis, Tennessee
[D] And old Luther and Lewis and Perkins was picking [A] and playing them songs [D] to me
I want the real thing, train to love, give [G] me the real thing
Leave in my [D] heart loud and I'll make you proud of the [A] songs they'd sing
Everybody's baby but mine's gonna [D] want you under my roof with your 86 [G] brook watered down till it tastes [D] like tea
You're gonna pull my string, make it [A] the real thing [D] for me
You're gonna pull my string, make it [A] the real thing [G] for me
