[G] Welcome back folks.
You know one of the highlights of both the Braun Brothers reunion in Chalice, Idaho and
Music Fest 2015 was our next group.
Hailing from Knoxville, Tennessee, the Black Lilies mix traditional country with rock and
soul to [D] come up with a sound that's gaining new fans [C] everywhere they play, especially
here in Texas.
Smoke Stack Lady.
This is a duet from Runaway Freeway Blues that we do [G] and it's the song that gets everybody
out of their seats on the dance floor, makes people smile right away and it's a truck driver's lover's duet.
It's fun.
[D] Yeah, we get to wail on it [C] which is super [G] fun and Cruz gets to show off on the keys
a bit so it's great.
