We're gonna show y'all something here.
We're gonna show you how we wrote a song one time.
And this is true.
Now, Tony Joe, he had most of it done.
But he's sitting there and he's singing a verse and then he'd hum a verse.
And I said, well, what's that?
And he says, well, I don't know.
And I said, well, it looks like you need some help.
You do the first verse.
And then you show them where you started [Am] humming.
Is that where I'm at?
Huh?
You gotta get it in the right key.
[A] City lights are shining [D] like diamonds
[A] You're coming from the southwest, [D] hello
[Am] Big jet engines screaming [D] like ten thousand horses
[F] [G] Another town, [A] another show
And then I went, mm-hmm
[D]
And I said, wait [A] a minute.
And that means stay in the same key when I say, wait a minute.
That's the way we did it then.
We don't talk about the women that I've [D] known from time to time
[A] You know I just can't be [D] alone
[A] She [Am] knows there's no one waiting for me anywhere
[F] That I love like [G] I love the one at [A] home
[F] I love [G] like I love the one [Am] at home
And I got half of the song on that.
[D] So you want to be a [A] cowboy singer
[D] Pick them old [Am] guitars every night
[D] If you ever ran [A] down around Corpus Christi, Texas
You'd be sure [G] to tell them all you [A] said hi
[Am] [A]
[D] [D] [A] American Music Shop will be right back, y'all.
Right after this.
