[F] people.
[Db] The rest of the hard [Bb]-working All-Star [Dbm] Blues Brothers are [F] going to be out here in a minute,
including my little [Fm] brother Jake.
But right now I'd like to [Cm] talk a little bit about this tune [Bb] you're hearing.
[F] This is, of course, the Green Onions tune.
[Ab] [Bb] It was a very, very [Fm] big hit in the early 60s in this country, of course.
[Bb] It was composed [Eb] and recorded in [Fm] Memphis, Tennessee, right here in the United States [Cm] of America.
[C] You know, [F] people, I believe that this tune can be equated with the great classical music around the [Bbm] world.
[Fm] Well, now you go to Germany, you've got your Beethoven, your Brahms.
[Bb] [Bbm] Here in America, you've got your [F] Fred McDowell, your Irving Berlin, your Glenn Miller, and your [Eb] Booker T and the MTs.
[Cm]
Another [C] example of the great contributions [Bb] in music and culture that this country's made around [F] the world.
And as you look around the round world today, [Dbm] [Bb] you see this country spurned.
You see facts turned on this country.
[Cm] Well, people, I'm going [Bbm] to tell you something.
This continent [Fm] in North America is the stronghold.
This is where we're going to make our stand in this decade.
[Ab] Yeah, people.
[Bb] [Db] I have something to say to the [Fm] State Department.
I'd say take that archaic [Cm] Monroe Doctrine and [Bbm] that Marshall Plan that says we're [Fm] supposed to police force the world and throw it [D] out.
[F] And stay home for the next 10 years, people.
[C] Stay right here in North America [Bb] and enjoy the music and culture that is ours.
[F] Yeah, I got one more thing to say.
I'm just talking [Fm] about the music [Bb] people and what it does [Cm] to me.
[Bb] And that is, [F]
as you look around the round world, [Gm] you go to Soviet [Fm] Union or Great Britain or France, you name any [F] country,
everybody is [Ab] doing flips [Bb] and twists [Ebm] just to get into a genuine pair of American blue jeans.
[Fm] And to hear this music, and we got it all here in America, the land of the [Bb] price of [Ab] 440 [Gb] cubic inch [Fm] engines. Green Onions!
