Chords for Reverend Horton Heat - Making Of Rev: My Hat [GUITAR WORLD EXCLUSIVE]

_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [E] If _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _
[A] I were to quit or if I were to [F#] say, you know, let's take a break for [A] two years, _ [G#] _ _ [D#] I'm
afraid [D] that _ [Em] if we took a break for two years, [D#m] we would come back and [B] we would be [D] playing
_ [A] Waffle House or something.
[Bm] _
[C#] You know, fear, [E] it's a great motivator.
[B] _ _
_ [D#] _ _ _ _ I could sit around and do that all day and nothing really gets [N] accomplished. _ _ _ _
I [A] feel like I haven't really [Dm] changed as far as my [E]
passion for it.
You know, 26 years ago, I still feel like I had the same passion for it.
The trends come and go and they change and the style of music has so heavy in its roots
that we're able to keep doing it, you know, even at this age and beyond.
_ _ I'm going to do this until I die.
I want to make an exciting sounding record.
In so many studios, I think opt for _ pristine sound and then you listen back [C] and go, well,
it's really boring, but okay.
You know, if I make, if I really screw up [F#] this album [D] with too [Em] much echo somewhere or
too much [G] reverb somewhere, [C] then go [F#] listen to those records from the 50s where [A#] they accidentally
put echo on the wrong stuff [C] or have you, you know?
So I would rather have like some type of a vintage [A#] vibe or some kind of a [C] color to make
it interesting to listen to. _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] Pretty good.
[G] I think it's good.
I think that solo is great too.
The only thing I can think of about this song _ is what would happen if I put an acoustic
guitar on this one, but_
We could [G#m] try it.
Why don't we try it?
Yeah, why not?
Yeah, or ukulele, man.
_ [A#] _ _ [B] _
_ [B] You're not supposed to have a pick with this. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ She's not my [F#] friend, she's my wife. _ _
_ _ [A] All right, I don't know, maybe not ukulele.
Okay.
So I left in 2006 for about six years and I came back.
It's been a year.
I was filling in for the drummer before me.
Several times I [F#] filled in for him.
And then they asked me if I wanted to come back.
Ben is right, called me and Jim called me and I'm like, yeah.
_ So I'm really, really excited to be back because it's my favorite band.
We all get along great and we're [C] all similar minded and a lot of most things.
Rev's had a lot of drummers.
He's been around since 85.
We did a tour at [E] Soundgarden where we opened [D] up.
That was probably right up [A] there with the biggest one we did in Toronto.
[Em] That tour [C#] fused with the Nine [A#] Inch Nails Marilyn Manson tour.
It was really crazy because Marilyn [A] Manson opened up for us.
That [B] was like probably [G] more than 32, 35,000 people.
It was really intense.
[D] It was only a couple of weeks [D] later that we were [F] in San Francisco opening up for Johnny Cash.
We [D] were going from Soundgarden, [E] Marilyn Manson to Johnny Cash.
And so it was [A] like, wow, this is getting pretty [G] cool.
My Hat is pretty much derivative off of Bill Haley and the Commons, which is one of my favorite bands.
I had the idea because I'm [Em] kind of getting beat up by just the business [G] side of Reverend Horton Heath.
I decided to write a song about getting your ass handed to you.
That saying, I'm getting my ass handed to me, is taken [C#] from [Cm] getting your hat handed to you.
Oh, he really [Em] got his hat handed to him.
[G] Somewhere in there we do get ass in there. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [E] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
That's the best ass. _ _ _ _ _
