STRAY CATS - SLIM JIM PHANTOM , LEE ROCKER , BRIAN SETZER IN THE STUDIO chords
Start Jamming...
We're [E] going mono.
I don't think he's [G] going to do it.
The CD [D] might be a double because you can't get enough.
So you need one quarter inch.
DVD and one live album.
[B] How does this track go on?
Is there a separate chapter?
There will [A] be a separate chapter.
[A] And if some of this is good enough,
we'll be [E] filming all the takes and [A] maybe we can put a little b-roll thing together
and you can watch [E] it.
[G] This [F] one is playing a lot [D] better.
[F]
[Em]
[F]
[D] [B]
[G]
[C] You took the bridge down, huh?
Two
[E] tenths of an inch and then I re-crowned it.
It's still [B] in one piece, huh?
Yeah, did the case work?
No, that one's in.
[D#] [B]
[Em] [E] [Dm]
So we start off
Just [Em] me, right?
Like the original [B] Mystery Train.
[E]
Well, the train pulled in station about 1955
[E] I'd never been to Memphis, but oh, [Em] man alive
This town was really buzzin' about this cat from Tennessee
The boy who shook his hips was such a shocking sight to see
He [G#] was a devil, don't you know, [Em] this greasy cat from Tupelo
So sit right back, you rockin' [C] cats, and just [B] enjoy the show
You can do a [E] walk down there.
I heard the whistle blowin', it was so much more than that
There was a guitar and a singer, and this big bass they would slap
I saw Montana [A] passin' and I [Em] waved goodbye
[G]
[B] [B] Cause that Mystery Train done hooked me
[A] Like old bourbon, whiskey, [E] and rye
[B] There you go.
[E] Mystery Train kept a-rollin'
That was Elvis, that's the wrong lyric.
So [G] just go straight into the chorus there.
Well, I went and grabbed my guitar
[Bm] She had a [Em] rockin' roll
[Cm] Well, I [D#] knew I saw her eyes there
[G]
No chorus there, huh?
Shoot, I didn't [E] feel it.
[N] Then, really, the chorus only happens once in the whole song.
Oh, yeah, yeah, okay, sorry, you're right.
Another [E] chorus.
Mystery Train kept a-rollin'
Mystery [C#] Train kept a-rollin'
[Em] Mystery Train kept a-rollin'
Carl [B] Perkins punched my ticket, this train don't ever stop
Just spin around [C#] and listen, boy, we'll show you how to rock.
[F]
Show you [B] how to rock.
[Em]
[E] Make it real quiet, this one.
We're going to the top, Mystery [N] Train, that's a good idea, Jim.
Yeah, so we'll come back to that chorus.
I like playing on the snare drum.
With the Gretchen and [B] the big beat.
[A] Jerry [G] Lee Elvis, well, now I really [Em] see
[E] Well, thank you for the ticket, [B] but I don't want the fame
I just wanna ride on this big old Mystery [Em] Train
Make it quiet again, we'll do it all again.
[E]
Yeah, great, it's great.
Yeah, it's [N]
great.
Now, on the Mystery Train kept a-rollin' part, the only idea I had
We could try it, because I kind of heard, we could just do it
Just yell it over there.
Mystery Train kept a-rollin'
That's probably the best, but I had the idea of trying to make it sound like the Jordanaires.
Mystery Train kept a-rollin'
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So we could do that, you wanna try it?
You wanna use a click?
Great.
[A] We were [E]
just deciding where you should double time it
But,
[A] brother, just come on, sit [B] back
And just enjoy [F#] the show for the most [G] part
There you go
[D#]
[E] [C#m] Brother, [G] just come on, sit back and brother [F] enjoy the show
[A] [B] There you go
[E]
[Am]
[E]
So sit back, you rotten cats, [A] and just enjoy the [C#] show
[Em] [B]
[Em] Sit back, you rotten cats, and just enjoy the show
Sit back, you rotten cats, and just enjoy the show
[B] So I'm gonna ride, after taking it to the top
It's the train that kept a [D]-rollin', it ain't never gonna [F] stop
The [Am] train that kept a-rollin', everything [A] got dark as night
[E]
Brother, just come on, talk to me, talk to me
[Bm] So I [Em]
stood up and sang, we ain't never turning back
Yeah, [E] just down here, I thought
So I stood up and sang, we ain't never turning back
But I said, hey [B] Rob, hey [E] Jack, Elvis, and [G] Cherry Lee
Now I [A] really see
[B] Well, thank you for the ticket, but [A] I don't know
I just wanna ride [B] on this big train
On this big train
[G]
[E]
[Bm]
[G]
Yeah
[B] [Bm]
After that, do you wanna [Fm] start that last part quiet and build it
