Chords for Late Night OTB - Steve Earle and Jerry Jeff Walker

Now here is Steve Earl with Jerry Jeff Walker Thank _ you
This is the part where we try to figure out all this business of music coming together
You said earlier that you thought you're the loudest drummer in folk music my you know
I could make I mean my dad we weren't poor, but there was five kids
You know so I never had an electric guitar, and I I couldn't make my guitar listen to you know everything is on the radio
I listened in South Texas a good place to be from as far as music goes you hear a lot of stuff
I don't think you hear any place else in the world with such a mixture of stuff down here
And I like I listen to the radio at night not listen to the Beatles and I listen to Creedence
But I couldn't make my guitar sound like that because I had an acoustic guitar
But I could make my guitar sound like Tim Buckley and Tim Harden and you and you know that's like I got into folk music
And I said also I left home when I was 16, and I wasn't old enough to get into bars
But I could get in coffee houses with the slamming guitar that sort of puts you over into the rockabilly
That's what started because I when I added bass and drums to this one demo that I did somebody said oh, that's a rockabilly yeah, [A#] and
Stray cats were happening so they were sort of like the sweepstakes going on in Nashville to see who could find a rockabilly act for
Country radio, but radio itself
You know I think is you know you would go through cycles and right now radio sort of dictating to the labels
What what kind of records they make and the red and the rock theory is it doesn't have to be that way
But you know what the hell [G] do I know I'm you know hillbilly singer with delusions of grandeur
_ That's a song damn near damn near so what might have been the first
_ Glimpse of Steve Earl coming into Nashville trying to get these guys to listen to what you're playing was it more folk or was it?
More what we consider the rock the folk with the heavy hands.
Yeah, well, that's exactly what it was cuz I remember
It's the guy that runs the publish the the Nashville office of the publishing company
That that I'm writing for or actually that co-publishes my songs
I have my own company co-published with another company now
Which is you know all that means is I make more money for my songs
And I used to means I own half of them now and uh
And that which is the whole concept of owning a song has never ceased to amaze me
but [E] the guy that runs the Nashville office has yet to
Admit to his boss in LA who's just had to pay me a whole lot of money to resign me
That he told me to get out of his office
And then I couldn't write and that these were the worst songs he'd ever heard in his life
[G] And they publish all of those songs now _
They [A] keep [Am] forgetting that there's more people than just [G] them you know just because one guy doesn't like it doesn't mean that a whole 30
Million other people might not like him and that they get constantly fooled trying to figure out the business.
That's it
