Mark Knopfler,Scotty Moore & others - Rock and Roll Ruby - Sun Records chords
Start Jamming...
They'd take these records and burn them in the park and all that stuff.
Like you said, it was devil's music.
They had to get rid of this stuff.
The disc jockeys would [G] break records.
It was god awful.
If they just listened to the records, there's not a curse word [G] in none of his tunes.
They're all just songs.
Not like what they're doing today.
It's getting rough now.
But a lot of the music was still introducing what a lot of people would have considered to be a dangerous element.
[F]
Songs about drinking and coming to juke joints.
Carl Perkins, I think, put the best name on the whole genre.
He said, it's feel-good music.
You feel good when you play it, you feel good when you sing it, and you feel good when you listen to it.
I think that pretty much sums the whole thing up.
I still remember when I first listened to you guys when I was a little guy.
I was still a little thing in short trances and my dad looking at me with real horror.
Like, I could like this stuff.
He didn't get behind it in the form [Abm] of guitar, but that's so disapproving.
It was real disapproval, [Gb] wasn't there?
At school in England, the [Ab] teachers [Eb] were real against it as well.
If I'm in a rock band and playing at a school party or something, and the teacher goes,
I might have known you'd be in this.
You're that kind of guy.
The slippery slope to damnation is just a wait.
You know that you're just going to go down. [E] Yeah, yeah.
[A] [Em] [F]
