[G]
[D]
[C] [G] I got asked to sing with John on his record [C] and first I freaked [G] out.
Well, I got [D] contacted by him.
There [G] was a little [D] snippet on a documentary he did.
[Em] And he heard my music [C] and he said he thought [G] he discovered something but it was already
off [D] like my second or third record.
[C] And I was like, wait, [G] what?
John Burgundy knows who I am?
What are [C] you talking about?
And then he asked [G] me to sing on his record.
And I mean, [C] that's like, [G] I mean, he's rock [C] royalty.
[G] And, you know, [D] I'm [Em] obviously nervous walking in there, but [C] he's so sweet [G] and quirky and
his kids were there and [C] his wife.
And it's hard to [G] like feel like just being [D] normal, but then you just kind of get in the groove.
He's just a [G] normal guy, but not really.
[D] He's a rock star.
But I tried [C] to convince myself to calm down.
[G]
[C]
[G] [D]
He [G] asked me to do that song and I actually [D] didn't know that one.
And [Em] I've always covered a [C] CCR song in my set somehow [G] or another.
That's when I didn't know.
[D] And so he's been it and I loved it.
And [Bm] [Am] [G] he's such a good singer.
I was [C] like, I've [G] got to sing my butt off today.
[C] Like I had to like, [G] went to bed earlier than I before and [C] make sure I was drinking enough water.
[G] I mean, he just opens [F#m] his mouth and it doesn't [Bm] sound like anybody else.
[C]
[G] [C]
[G] [D]
He [G] has these songs that have [D] certain melodies to them and [C] lyrically [G] no one else can write
songs like Don Fogarty, much less sing them like [C] him and [G] play the licks that he plays.
I [D] mean, it's just, it's very [G] unique to him.
It's very signature.
[D] You can tell right away that [Em] it's Don Fogarty.
You know, [C]
I [G] don't, and they're timeless.
I mean, they [D] really, really are.
I mean, here I [C] am.
My dad loved it and [G] I love it.
You know what I mean?
It's a [C] generational part.
But [G] it's, he's so cool.
[C] Cool is the word for [G] him.
[C] [G]
[D] [Em] [Bm] [C]
[G] [C]
[G] [D]
[G] I grew up [A] mostly on country music.
I mean, [C] that's pretty much all I listened to.
[G]
But the only rock that I knew [C] was Leonard Skinner and TCR.
[G] That's all that was ever played.
[D] My dad would play in the house.
[G] And so, you know, people always say, [D] where did you get this Southern rock edge [Em] to your music?
And I know that's where it's from [C] because that's the only [G] place I can think of, you
know, [D] that, that, that little [C] edge comes out of [Am] my music.
[G] And it's, it's from Don Fogarty.
[C] It was kind of [G] brought into me from a young [C] age.
[G] [C] [G]
