Chords for Stephen Stills - Sounding Out - Part 1

_ _ [C#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ _
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ I have this strange tuning _ _ _ _ _ that was invented by Bruce Palmer, who was the bass player for _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] _
_ [F#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ [C#] the band The Big Bands.
_ _ _ _ My dad was into the big bands, [E] you know.
He used to book them when he was in college.
He [F] would _ book Paul Whiteman and Benny Goodman and Fletcher [D#] Henderson and all those people
since the Midwest, [E] you know, Indiana and Illinois and so [G] on.
And _ so he had a tremendous collection of old records.
I like eclectic music.
I like things that have roots, where you can hear the roots, you know.
And you're really aware [D#] of where it came [C#] from, you know.
_ [G#] _ I'm from the South.
I walk 47 [C#] miles a-bye-bye.
I use a cobra snake for a [F#] necktie.
Got a brand new house by the river old [C#] side.
I made out a rattlesnake hide.
Got a brand new chick on my roof.
Made out the huge score.
So [D#] all you take me by the hand.
Tell me [C#] who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you [D#m] love?
[C#] Who do you love?
_ Well, there's a radio station [D] that a few English people know about.
Most of the musicians.
_ _ WLAC [F#] in Nashville, [F] Tennessee.
And it was the R&B station.
It was Randy's Record Shop in Gallatin, Tennessee.
And they used to play rhythm and blues records all night.
And it was so much better than listening to Dick Dale.
_ [F#] And all of that [F] jive that was coming on the other [G] stations.
And [C#] I'd stay up really late after studying.
Because they went on until 3 or 4 in the morning. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ If you leave me, baby.
_ _ Tell you what I might do.
_ _ _ [C#m] _
[A#] Go out there [C#m] and kill somebody.
[G#]
Come [G] on home to you.
Take out some [F#] insurance on me, _ baby.
Take out [C#m] some insurance [C#] on me, baby.
_ _ Because [G#] if you ever, ever [F#] said goodbye.
_ I might [D] go [G] right on down.
_ _ [C#] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] I played rhythm guitar for a band called The Continentals when I was in high school.
And I got to sing [E] two songs.
And they were both blues songs and all the rest was, you know, Dick Dale rock and roll.
And we played _ fraternity parties at the University of Florida.
And we played [D] _ _ _ [E] bars where I would lie about my age.
Which was virtually [F] impossible because [G] at 15 I looked like I was maybe 11. _ _ _ _ _
And, you know, we just kicked around.
Kicked around [C#] in music. _
[G] _ _ _ [C#] And, you know, we just kicked around [G]
in [C#] music.
Found [C#] myself a brand new automobile.
It was custom made like a coupe TV with a powerful motor and [E] some hideaway wings.
Push it on a button and you can make her [B] sing.
[F#]
Can't catch me.
_ [C#m] Well, you can't catch me.
[C#] _
[G#] Because if you get too close, you know [F#] I'm gone like a [C#m] cool [F#] breeze.
_ _ _ [C#] _ New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours.
[C#m] I was rolling [G#] slowly closer, whistling showers.
[F#] Here come flat top, here come, you look [C#m] with the mirror.
Wave you goodbye, some [F#] little lady, souped up dinner.
[C#m] And then my tank gone [D#m] be there to the [C#m] toe.
Rolling in summer, slurping [C#] tape on toes.
So I let out my wings and I blew my horn.
Bye bye, New Jersey, I'll be calm [F#] and boring.
[B] Can't catch [F#] me.
No, baby, you can't catch [C#] me.
[G#] Because if you get too [F#] close, you know I'm gone like a [C#] cool breeze.
