Start Jamming...
Let's see I'll do one from the new record here that I wrote with my old buddy Rod Picot
We met on a school bus.
Yeah, I'm glad to hear we've got some Rod Picot fans in the house
He's in town this week.
We're doing shows together down at Opal Devines and over at the cactus later on today
[F#] You know, I write this wrote the song broke down a whole bunch of other [A] songs that we play together
So this is uh, we wrote this one thinking about
[E] Some of those tough kids in our high school.
We grew up in a little [A] scrappy farm and factory town and a little town in Maine
There were a lot of really rough characters that we were sort of alternately
fascinated by but also terrified of
[G] Being a little geeky [A] artist kind of types
That's what this song is about.
It's called black t-shirts
We'd have been scared of you Michael, I think
Tough guy he's not a tough guy.
I thought Michael was a tough guy the first time I saw him.
That's the idea
In your black t-shirt in the parking lot
[F#m] In your drone boots out back [D] smoking pot
[A] Got a black guy you wear it proud
[F#m] Guns and roses [D] way up loud
Just a little cut up on your brow
[F#m] Principal said don't [D] come back now
Every night it's a screaming shout.
There's a new [F#m] boyfriend and he wants [D] you
You [E] know, you're gonna pay for the things you do
[E] You know what?
You put [D] your mama through
[A] [E]
[A]
[D] [A] It's act work in the hitchhike back
[F#m] Hope you're home before the [D] sky goes black
[A] Cars go by but they don't stop
[F#] These days no one picks [D] you up
[E] No, you're gonna pay [D] for the things you do
[E] You know what you put [D] your mama through
[A] [E]
[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[A]
[D] [A] Over the bridge to the Texaco
[F#] There's a guy works there you [D] used to know
[A] He knows dealer on the interstate
[F#m] Now you got a plan in a [D] 38
[E] You know, you're gonna pay for [D] the things you do
[E] You know what you put [D] your mama through
[A] [D]
[A] [D]
[A] In your black t-shirt in the parking lot
[F#m] In your drone boots out back [D] smoking pot
