We'd like to just do one more song that probably brings back a memory or two to you or to somebody else.
And it's a song that was sung by the Byrds that [Bb] I wrote for them.
It's called Death by being slain by the Rolling Stones.
[A] [Abm] It's about a disc jockey in Nashville [Bb] who actually had the nerve to ask me on the air what my draft status was.
On the air, mind you.
I nodded my head like this, which doesn't make a lot of noise on the radio.
[Bbm]
It's sort of like playing cards on the radio and saying,
I'm [Bb] the card trick.
[E] And he [Bb] thought he had me, but I don't know.
It's a song that's in my [Bbm] hearing.
It's a song [Gb]
[Bb] that's got a soft note.
[Gb] [Bb]
[D] Well, he's running around the house [A] on the hill
He's playing cards to the record, [G] so he'll [D] have to pay
He's a fine little [E] friend, [D] [G] leaves him all nice to date
But [A] he sure don't take much, but throw [B] that [D] cruise, he's worthy
He's a drugstore truck [A] driving man
He's the head of the Q [D] Club in Lansing
[A]
[D] When summer
[Gb] rolls [G] around
[Em] [G]
He'll [A] be lucky if he's not [D] in town

[G] [A]
[D]
Well, he don't like the young folks [A] I know
Paulie told me one night on his [G] radio [D]
show
She's got him [G]
the worst, [A] it weighs 500 pounds
And it sleeps on [D] his phone
He's a drugstore truck [A] driving man
He's the head of the Q Club [D] in Lansing
When summer [A] [D] rolls [G]
[A] around
He'll be lucky if he's not [D] in town
Neil Plant on a pedal steel guitar
He's [A]
[G] [D]
[G]
[Em] [A]
[D]
been like a [Bm] father [A] to me
He's the only DJ you [G] can hear [D] after three
I'm an all night musician [G] in a rock and roll band
[A] And why he don't like me I [E] can't [Dbm] undo
[D]
He's a drugstore truck [G]
[A] driving man
He's the head of the Q Club [D]

When summer [G] rolls [D]

[Eb] The tenth largest city in the United States [Bb] was Mike
The tenth largest city means Baltimore, Maryland
[C] Yeah, it's a joke city
[Bb] It's very gray there
You can get across Chesapeake Bay by taking a turn and ignoring it
But [Eb] if you get down into the [Bb] heart of it, you might not ever get out
This song was written by I think Jim Glaser,
Rodgers, and Tom Paul Green
It's called The Streets of Baltimore
