Chords for Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers Perform at The Loft

[C] _ _ Well, I knew about the bluegrass [E] world and I had been, [Em] you know, listening to it for
a long time.
But, you know, a great thing happened to my interest in bluegrass, which was the Internet,
because you couldn't [C] find music.
[G] It's so esoteric.
But when the Internet happened, [C] you suddenly could find records.
You know, there was a folk [G] music [C] movement in the 60s, which included the Kingston Trio,
_ included [F] Pete Seeger.
So I [C] started hearing the banjo a lot.
Earl Scruggs [F] [B] solidified it.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ In my world, there was nobody prior to Earl Scruggs.
He's to me the founding father of three-finger bluegrass.
Even the claw hammer players that I discovered were after Earl Scruggs.
In [Em] Scruggs style, you [E] pick up on the strings, and in claw hammer, you pluck down with the
back of your fingernail.
And you don't wear picks.
And it's very complicated.
[Em] I mean, both are complicated.
_ _ _ [E] _ I didn't have people to practice with, banjo.
I did play alone.
And that led to me developing kind of my own style and writing songs.
Me when I get to town, I'll stand on the sidewalk with tears flowing down.
Tears [Em] flowing down. _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
For she is the one that I love to look on, the acme of kindness and perfection. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ She _ _ _ _ presses my hand and she says she loves me, which I find an admirable _ [Em] peculiarity.

_ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ The woods are bright green on both sides of the line.
The trees have their love, so they're different from mine.
[G] Different from mine. _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
The poor, fat old banker in the sun parlor car has no one to love him except his cigar.
If I were the head of the church or the state, I'd powder my nose and just tell him to wait
for loves more important and powerful than even a priest or a [Em] politician. _ _ _

Drive a drive faster and make a good run.
Down the Springfield line under the shining sun.
Fly like an airplane and don't pull a sword till you break for Grand Central Station, New York.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ [A] What do [G] you say? _
It was great.
Thanks.
[Em] We haven't done that in a hundred [D] years.
Can't believe I_
_ [E] _ _ [Em] Maybe I should make a video.
