[Bb] All right, [F] people.
_ [Bbm] The rest of the hard-working [Dbm] All-Star Blues [Eb] Brothers are going to be out here [Bb] in a minute,
including [Bb] my little brother [Fm] Jake.
But right now [Bb] I'd like to talk a little [Cm] bit about this [Bb] tune, you hear it? _
[Fm] This is, of course, [Bb] the Green [Abm] Onions tune.
[G] _ [Fm] [Ab] It was a [Fm] very, very big hit in the early 60s in this country, and of course, it [Bb] was [Dbm] composed
and [Bbm] recorded in [Fm] Memphis, Tennessee, right here in the United [Eb] States of America.
[Bb] _
You know, people, I believe that this tune can be [Abm] equated with the great [G] classical music
[Bb] around the [Fm] world.
Now [Bb] you go to Germany, [Fm] you've got your Beethoven, your [Bb] Brahms.
[Eb] Here in [Bb] America, [Eb] [Fm] you've got your Fred [Gm] McDowell, your Irving Berlin, [Bb] your Glenn Miller, [Cm] and
your Booker [Bb] T and the M.T.
[Fm] _ _ _ [G] Another [Fm] example of the great contributions in music and [Bb] culture that this country's made
around the world.
And as you look around the round [Ab] world today, [Bb] _ [Dbm]
[Bb] you see this [Eb] country spurned.
[Fm] You see facts turned on this country.
[Cm] Well, people, I'm going to [Bbm] tell you something.
This [Eb] continent, [Fm] North America, is the [Gm] stronghold.
[Fm]
This is where we're going to make our [Bb] stand in this [F] decade.
[Fm] Yeah, [Bb] people. _
[Db] [Bb] I have something to [Db] say to the State [Fm] Department.
I say take that archaic [Cm] Monroe doctrine [Ebm] and that [Bbm] Marshall Plan that says we're [Fm] supposed
to police force the world and throw it [Gm] out [Fm] and stay home for the next ten years, people.
_ [Bb] Stay right here [Fm] in North America and enjoy the music and culture that is [Bb] ours.
[F] Yeah, I got one more thing to [Bb] say.
I'm just talking [F] about the music, [Cm] people, and what it does to me.
[Bb] And that is, [Eb] _ [Fm] as you look around the round world, [Gb] you go to Soviet [Fm] Union or Great Britain
or France, you name any country, [Bb] [Abm] everybody [Bb] is [Ab] doing flips [Ebm] and twists just to get into
a [Ab] genuine pair of American [Abm] blue jeans.
[Bb] [Fm] And to hear [Bb] this music, and we [Cm] got it all [Fm] here in America, the land of the [Bb] Chrysler 440 cubic engine.
