_ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ So [Gb] _ _ _
let me take a [D] few more questions.
Oh look at this 9th third my union says I'm gonna have to stop soon
_ [Db] Let me let me go over here in the middle maybe yeah, that's
_ [E] Well, I was up there and I got in trouble
_ Okay, okay, right right there with the blue shirt
[G] _
Yeah, right there
Can you _ _ _
German [D] please English isn't very good.
I think I [N] think it yeah _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Mind for him the song with barracks
My father's I'm glitched there American is a country star golf books spills by songs for me
And if I didn't listen was the developer think of the begun since in order to smile
But obviously I can eat to deliver the fight have a
me _ on shameless
Yeah, she wants to know what your opinion is of Garth Brooks or crooks or whatever _ _ _ _ _ _
Garth Brooks version of your two songs
[Eb] shameless and yeah
_ [G] Yeah, Garth Brooks is this is a very popular country western singer who?
It's not so much the pure country western music anymore
_ _ He had a big hit with a song I wrote called shameless
_ [Db] _ _ The funny thing is when I wrote this song shameless
What he's like surprise _ _
[Eb] Bring bring the lights down a little bit a little atmosphere _
_ _ Yeah _ _ _
Shameless I thought of this song shameless.
I thought I was Jimi Hendrix.
Well, I'm shameless
_ _ [G] When it comes to loving you Jimmy Hendrix always chewing gum when he was singing I'll do anything you want me to
I'll [E] do anything.
Oh, yeah _ _ _
_ [Eb] And Garth Brooks took it and made it into a big country-western hit which was fantastic to me because _
I've never had a record played on in country-western radio country-western radio is very very strict
they will only play country-western artists and
I'm very grateful to Garth Brooks for making
Something that I wrote _
_ _ _ _ _ Available to hear to people
Who wouldn't normally have heard the music that I do
Now country-western music is country-western music popular in Germany, [D] it's not not so popular in some places it is _ _ _
[Eb] It's are
_ _ [Db] _ _ _ _
[G] The descendant of what used to be folk music I think is country-western music
Now I didn't used to like country-western music.
I give you an example _
_ _ this is
Check check check check check.
I mean just a touch more piano in the monitor _ _ _ _
My this is I call this my first impression of country-western music
Okay, I grew up in New York City.
There was no country-western music radio in New York City
This is my first impression.
Go my first impression of country-western music
_ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Well, I went into town the other night [C] to see if I could start a fight [D] I felt so mean that I was going [G] nuts _
Well, I felt so downright mean you see [C] that when some dude bumped into me [D] I went and I stuck a pitchfork in [G] his guts
_ [C] Well, I ain't no hippie [G] commie fag.
I pledge allegiance to the flag
[D] I don't believe that college kids [G] should vote
_ [C] And if you don't agree with [G] me, well, I'll just say yeah, [D] I'll have to [Eb] punch your teeth right [G] down your throat
_ [D] Boom boom boom boom boom boom [G] boom
So that was my [N] first impression _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ It's over the years.
It's become hybrid.
It's changed now Garth Brooks brought a lot of rock and roll
Into country music people like Travis Tritt Garth Brooks
They have they grew up listening to me and the Rolling Stones
And they brought a certain amount of popular music into country-western now
I changed my opinion about country-western music
_ Because the at first I thought it sounded kind of dumb, you know
[C] I _
_ [Dm] can't stop [F] loving you _
_ [C] I made of my mind
[G] barabum barabum
[C] _ To
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Long
[C] _
_ And _ _ [G] then about
_ 1964-63 I heard Ray Charles who was a blues singer a
_ Black man who sings the blues did a country-western album and all of a sudden I got it
I like country [C]-western
_ _ [G] You
I can't [F] stop loving you _
_ _ _ _ I've made [C] up my mind
_ _ _ _ [Em] To [G] live in
[G] _ memory
Yes, _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] I [Dm] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [N] can't stop _
