Here, yeah?
[D]
[Gm] [Cm] See if I can do this [Ab] and not lose the guitar.
[E] It just takes some talent.
[G]
[C] [A] I did it!
[N]
Don't steal the pipe that's in the in the in the
Keep that, [G] I'm gonna need it afterwards.
[D] Hey, it's legal!
[Gm]
[Eb]
[E] We were talking about what to sing
what to do for you guys, see?
And we knew that we were gonna do some fierce rock and roll.
[N] Which we are going to do.
But we thought we'd go the other direction for a couple of songs.
Let's see how it works.
[Abm] There's a song I [Fm] do of Joni's [Am] that I like a lot.
[Gb]
It's a simple country waltz.
It's not like most of her stuff, which is [D] so complex I can't play it.
[B] [Gb]
It's good, but [D] complex.
But this one, I've been doing it for a long time because I like what it says.
I don't know if I need a pick [N] for this.

Waiting for [G] the walking
[F] [Em] wind
[E]
[G] Across the [F] street he stood
[Em] And he played real good
[Am] On his [C] clarinet [F] he
[C] freezed
[G] And me I [F] played [D] for [Em] fortune
And these velvet [C] curtain callers
[F] [C]
I [G]
got a black limousine
[F]
[Em] And the finest lady
Is courting [C] me [G] to [C] these halls
I'll [Am]
play if [C] you have [G] some money
[C]
Or if [G] you're a friend [F] to [Em] me
[E]
[G] That one [C] man man by [Em] the quicklips stand
He was [Am] just playing real [C] good Sweet
[F]
[C]
[G] Nobody [F] stopped [Em] to hear him
[Am] Though he [C] played so sweet [F] So high
[C]
[G] They knew [F] he'd never been on [Em] their TV screen
So they [C] passed his music by
I [Am]
meant to go [C] over
[G] And ask for a song
That [C] made me put [G] on a [F] gig
[Em] Sweet
[D]
[E] I
[G] could still hear [F] his refrain
[Em] As the signal changed
He was [Am] just playing [C] real good
[F] Sweet
[C] [Em]
