Chords for Eddie Vedder "Smokin' a Great Joint Without the Coughin' " // SiriusXM // Willie's Roadhouse

Hey, Eddie.
Hey, Willie.
How are you?
I'm all right, buddy.
How you doing?
I'm grateful you took my call.
I'm pretty excited to be talking to you and was real excited to hear you play Just Breathe.
The first time I heard it, it
it was like
smoking a great joint without all the
coughing or the smoking.
I
hear you.
Well, it's a great song.
Thank you for, you know, writing it and letting us do it.
You know, I was gonna ask you if we want to put that in a movie,
you don't have to commit on the air, but I've got them.
I'm doing a movie called When Angels Sing, and we're really trying hard to get that in the movie.
So if it's all right with you or not, you know, it's a great song.
Hey, Willie, anything.
It's a done deal.
You know, to hear lyrics that, you know, for me, if I remember, I just jotted them down in my sleep and to hear them
pass over your vocal cords is quite an experience for a songwriter, and I'm sure all the other
songwriters have had that experience would testify to the same.
So I just, I can't thank you enough.
It's really one of the more, and everyone I've talked to has heard it.
They've really been reaching out.
I've heard so many good things from everybody.
I have never received so many messages about how much they loved it.
So at this point, I'm feeling like it's one of my, it's probably my best contribution to music so far.
Well, I agree.
It's a good contribution and thank you, and also thanks for calling in.
Oh man, I'm glad to have this opportunity and it's a big day.
I'm real excited for everyone to hear the whole record tomorrow.
You know, [Ab] there's one, I haven't heard all the tracks, so I'm just wondering, I saw the title list,
is Come On Up To The House.
Is that the Tom Waits?
And Kathleen?
Oh, it's really got some of my favorite lyrics.
If I remember, like the one is like, come down off the cross, we could use the wood.
Yeah, that's the one we were, yeah, that's one of my favorite lines.
Yeah.
Yeah, that.
And then also in that same song is The World Is Not My Home, I'm Just Passing Through.
[N] I sing that to myself all the time, just walking around.
Yeah, well, it's a good song.
And Luke, just say hello to Eddie.
This is my son, Luke.
Hey, how are you doing, man?
All right, Lucas, well, thank you for talking to your dad and playing the song.
I'm sure that's how it went down.
Well, yeah, we actually we did it together and and and, you know, singing it together with him as a duet.
It's the first thing I've done like that with my dad.
So it really took on a whole different meaning for me and him, you know, so like to be to be, you know,
something that I'll have forever with him.
And I've got you to thank for that.
So thank you.
Oh, I got chicken skin.
You know where that is with all your time in Hawaii.
Yeah, man.
I got me some chicken skin, brother.
Yeah, man.
Are you out in Molokai or Seattle?
No, I'm in Seattle.
I'm really having a broken wing here.
I'm supposed to be on tour, but that's OK.
I got to be home for Mother's Day.
And it was a nice day.
Yeah, that's nice.
You know, I was going to bring something up and just in memory.
I mean, I don't know if you talked about him today, but I know, Willie, you did a record in 78 with Booker T.
I think he was producing the record Stardust.
Absolutely.
Yeah.
And I'm sure that you've spent a lot of time over the years with Duck Dunn.
And I woke up this morning to get the sad news that he had passed away.
_ Duck Dunn on bass, you know, from Booker T's group.
No, I didn't hear that.
Oh, shoot.
Yeah.
Yeah, I got to know him because Booker T was back in Neo on all those tours and we happened to be with him at the time.
And I got to know Duck Dunn pretty well and Steve Cropper and all those fellows.
And it's hard when you lose a good one, even after all the years.
Yeah.
And also, you know, we lost old Chris Etheridge and B Spears this year.
So I lost a couple of great bass players and Leavon too.
Leavon.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, Leavon, something else.
You know, Eddie, when I first heard about Leavon, I don't know why, but I'd never cried so hard for anybody who died.
It's funny how somebody can touch you so much with music, you know, you just, you know, just for some I never even met Leavon.
But to hear about him passing away, the tears just started flowing.
I was with my girlfriend at the time and I was, you know, it was like, wow, man, that music is just, you know, I don't know why.
I've heard about even, you know, other people that are closer to me that passed away.
It was more like, you know, you understand, like you said, the world is just my home.
I'm passing through.
But for some reason, when Leavon died, I just started crying, you know.
Yeah.
And it's hard to hear about him all the time, just because I watch The Last Waltz, you know, once a week or something.
Yeah. _
Yeah.
Close to being with me.
And I still feel the same.
You know, that's again like something special about music.
You still have it with you. Yeah.
Eddie, hi, this is Dallas Wayne over here.
Would you like to hear Willie and the guys do your song live?
You can hang on the phone.
We'll play it for you.
They'll play it for you.
There's only one.
I [F] can only answer hell yes.
_ [Dm] Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, everybody.
All right, [Ab] Eddie.
[Db] Willie, much love.
Lucas, much love.
Please give my best to Mickey too.
He's right here.
Yeah, he's right here.
Oh, Mickey, thanks.
I'm still playing that wood harmonica you gave me.
I want to hear more.
