[G] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] _ _ was about 11 or 12 years old, [E] my mother and [D] father bought me this small blue transistor radio.
[G] I was a pretty [F#] lucky kid, [E] they only made about 11 [D] million of them, and I got one of them.
I started listenin' to this [Am] radio from early in the morning to [D] late at night.
We got [Am] these [D] great rock and roll stations out of Chicago, great R&B, we [E] even had a really [D] good country station I used to listen to.
_ _ Sometimes I'd fall asleep at night with the radio on underneath my pillow so I wouldn't wake my brothers up.
I started goin' down to the magazine [Bm] store, I went there every month, just to see [E] if the new [Bm] issue of a hit creator magazine or [E] a country song [D] roundup had come out yet,
because they printed the lyrics to all the hit songs, and right off the bat I was into the words that they were [Gm] singin'.
You know, it's just when I'd get a [E] hold of an issue, a [D] hit creator or a country song roundup,
sometimes they weren't [Gm] singin' the words I thought they were [D] singin'.
_ For example, one time I bought every Fats Domino record that come out.
One time Fats did a version of this song from the 40s called Margie.
[Gm] Margie, I'm always thinkin' of you, [D] Margie.
[Gm] Sounded a whole lot better when Fats [D] Domino did it.
Anyway, Fats got to the middle of the song and he went,
Don't forget your grumbly beans.
_ And I thought, wow, grumbly beans.
That must be somethin' you can only get in New Orleans. _
Man, when I grow up, I'm gonna go to [G#] New Orleans and get [E] me some [D] grumbly beans. _
So the end of the month came and I went down to the magazine [B] store.
By that time, Margie [A] was goin' number [D] one all across the nation.
So sure enough, the hit creator [Gm] magazine, they had the [D] words to Margie.
And it turns out that Fats Domino [E] was singin' Don't Forget Your Promise to [D] Me.
_ _ _ [G] Man, I like [E] grumbly beans.
[D] I hold a lot of grumbly beans. _
_ _ _ I was playin' this little club in the San Francisco area once.
And [G] this girl come up to the side of the [Gm] stage and said,
[D] Hey, John, play [G] that song [A] for me.
The one that makes me [D] feel so good.
And I said, well, which one would that be?
And she said, you know, the one about the enchilada.
The happy enchilada. _
[B] I had to [D] stop playing it.
_ Because I've written a few weird ones.
It _ turns out I knew the girl.
She was the ex-wife of this saxophone player in the Bay Area.
I thought, well, maybe we'd go to a party together or something.
You know, I tried, maybe I'm insulted by the food or something.
Somehow I knew this couldn't be.
You see, I [D] keep this file cabinet at home.
[E] It's the only thing I've managed to keep through three [D] marriages.
Mainly because nobody cared about it.
But all I keep in the file cabinet [E] are words that I would [D] never use in a song.
_ _ _ Enchilada is one of them. _
_ So I looked directly at her and I said,
You know, there's a distinct possibility that [G] you might [D] have me confused.
With some other singer-songwriter.
You know, maybe somebody like Jimmy Buffett or something.
_ [G#]
He writes songs about [D] food.
She said, [A#] no, Johnny, it [A] was you.
I wish [D] you'd seen it.
I said, well, [F#] tell me how it goes.
[E] She said, it's a happy enchilada and you think [D] you're gonna drink it. _ _ _ _ _ _
