Chords for Lonnie Mack - Oreo Cookie Blues - 1986 - Live and Rare!

Oh, _ we're gonna start it out a fun way this morning.
I want you to meet a guy who made a really big hit instrumental record out of Chuck Berry's Memphis. _
It was a smash-o-hit.
They've even re-released it, I think.
Let us welcome Lonnie Mack.
_ _ _ _ _ Good morning, Lonnie Mack.
_ _ Good to have you here.
All right, it's good to be here.
You're on the road now for how long? _
Oh, forever. _ _ _ _
_ How long do you stay on the road?
How many days do you play out of a year?
Well, it depends.
Some [B] years are different, but right now we're out for about six weeks.
[Gm] How tough is that on you and _ on your family and friends?
Well, it's kind of tough, but [F] once you're out [Eb] here and you get used to it, you can't live without it.
You've got to stay [Db] on the road.
_ You're gonna be at the Richfield Coliseum, or I'm sorry, _ the Holiday Inn tonight, huh? Yeah, right.
8.30 the show starts and doors open at 7.30 at the Richfield Holiday Inn.
What kind of show are you gonna play there?
_ We'll do all kinds of music.
It's _ [F] _ stuff that I [E] was doing back when I first started and some of the newer stuff.
[Gb] _
_ _ _ [Bb] It's hard to put [E] labels on music.
[D] We just play music.
Well, I notice you have this thing here hanging off your guitar.
What is that?
[Eb] Well, you know, somebody threw that up one night because I cut [D] that song on the [Db] Oreo _ _ cookie blues.
I thought it was a real [Eb] cookie.
I started to eat it. _ _
I want to tell you, that don't work.
_ You did that album with Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Yeah.
And in fact, I think we're gonna do a little bit of that.
How's that?
[Gb] You're gonna play [Bbm] Stevie, right?
I'll play Stevie.
It'll be hard to play Stevie, but we'll give it a shot.
All right.
This is the Oreo cookie blues.

There was a blind man there called Ralph Trotto
