Chords for Bryan Lee-Tina Marie

_ _ _ _ When I was about 11 years old, I got this great AM portable radio. _
And still back then, I mean, you know, you had tubes.
But this thing had a great ability to pick up faraway stations at night.
So I always was like, wow, geez, I got Denver, Colorado.
Geez, I got Little [Gm] Rock, Arkansas.
You know, I'd be tuning around and I _ [Bbm] ended up at 1510 on the dial and [Gm] got WLAC and National
_ Tennessee.
And [D] these guys were playing all kinds of [G] blues and [Bb] rhythm and blues and soul and [F] gospel.
And _ you know, [Gm] it really caught me because, [Db] for instance, in those days, let's say [N] I wanted
to buy Tutti Frutti by Little Richard.
Well, in my town, I can only get the version by Pat Boone.
[G] Now I'm hearing the real deal and I'm like, _ wow, I really [Db] like this.
_ [Cm] That's where I really got into the blues.
My mama used to tell me, [C] you know, like, [Dm] _ Brian, you know, [Cm] you're not one of those Negroes.
You shouldn't be doing this stuff.
Tina Marie, _ _ what y'all so for me? _
_ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ [Eb] [F] Yeah, Tina Marie, [Cm] _ _ what y'all so for me?
_ _ _ _ _ [G] Well, when you do that dance, _ [Cm] it takes away all my memory. _
Brother Kenny. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ Yeah, I'm working [F] with it, baby. _ _
Who _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [F] _ you here for?
_ [Cm] Who you here for? _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[F] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ I'm not a poor monkey, Tom.
[Gm] Brian was honestly [Cm] the first guy who really gave me a break and didn't discriminate against
me because of how young I was, because I was getting turned down right and left by a lot
of guys in Louisiana and trying to get up and jam with them and stuff.
I don't know, [Eb] man.
Maybe it's because [G] Brian just has an open mind or [Cm] maybe it's because, you know, he's
just open to the idea because maybe he's ran into some really hard times and maybe a lot
of people turned him down.
You know, I don't know.
But that's true, Kenny.
But you know what?
I mean, yes, as a blind [Bb] person [Cm] and as a [F] musician, I've run into a lot [Bb] of closed [Cm] doors.
But I think for you, I think what [F] did it was I [Gm] didn't see you [Ab] as a blind [G] person.
I only heard you.
Yeah.
And the first time [F] that you said it, I was sitting in the back room [Cm] and I said, well,
this guy can really play.
A lot of times with music, people should close their eyes and just groove on the sound and
forget all the visual aspects.
_ [Gm] Oh, [Dm] she don't [Cm] breathe.
[F] _ God, please take [Cm] my hand.
_ _ _ _ [G] You got me so _ confused.
[F] [Cm] But I think that I want to be your man.
[C] _ Oh, [Cm] that's right. _ _ _ _
_ [C] You _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [Cm] should always, [C] no matter what, [Ab] every day.
Life is not easy.
But first of all, cherish [C] _
life.
[G] It is [F] indeed a gift.
[Bb] And I think that [Fm] _
[Ebm] you should try every [Eb] day, strive every day to be your very best.
