[D] I grew up in a town in San Antonio [G] and you know if you were playing original music you [Gm] had to come here.
This was, there were [B] even in [F] the 70s, early 70s when I first started playing on my own,
[G] there were more places to play in Austin.
[D] There were just for some reason there's a tradition [Em] of
people going not just playing live music but playing live [G] original music here and it's not
[B] [A] this place, the Bay Area, there's a handful of places [F] in the country [D] still that you can [Em] really
say that.
In honor of the Austin City Limits Festival [Am] here's my list of top [E] five Texas [Em] musicians.
Townsend's got the best songwriter that the state ever produced, [E] one of the best songwriters any
state ever produced.
Doug Somm, probably you know my teacher, my hometown [G#m] rock and roll hero being
from San [G] Antonio, [A] one of the most underrated guitar players in rock and roll and a great
band leader and a great singer.
[E] Willie Nelson moved back to Texas [D] from Tennessee [Em] when I was
[F#m] you know [N] 15 or 16 years old and thanks [Bm] to him I stopped getting my ass kicked for having long
hair and cowboy boots and it was all Willie.
I have, it was [B] completely, he saved my life.
[E] Rocky Erickson, 13th [B] Floor Elevators and you know that's [C#m] like one of the earliest [E] psychedelic bands
and I think the [Am] idea that there was something going on besides country music and [E] there's great
country music here, great Nortonian music, [B] great ethnic music that's from this region [C#m] but Austin
and [B] Rocky you know [A] I think Rocky's one of the authors of the idea of Austin as [E] the as the live
music capital of [B] whatever.
Bob Wills, [C#m] Western Swing, without Western [E] Swing there is no [A] rock
and roll so I mean you [F#m] know the Bill Haley and the Comets were originally a Western [B] Swing band,
Scotty Moore who played guitar on the [F#m] earliest Elvis Presley records was in and the bass player
[A] Bill Black were in a Western [B] Swing band.
It's one of the main [E] bridges between you know R&B,
you know black music and white music that sort of ends up being rock and roll.
