Cactus, [G] when we first started in 1970, there weren't even any video machines around.
That's why there's not a [B] lot of [C] _ [F] film on Cactus.
_ The [G] kind of music that was really, really high energy, raw bluesy music.
_ [N] _ _ Detroit was [A] known for blues and New York was known for blues. _ _
That's really how the whole thing happened.
We [N] took the influences of the day.
Like when we did Parchment [G] Farm, we wanted _ _ it to be faster than 10 years after the time we had I Was Going [F] Home, which is a fast song.
Parchment Farm was the first _ [Dm] double bass drum, really fast boogie with the bass drums going so fast,
[N] which was done around that time, 1970, [A#] obviously. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [B] _ _
[A#] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ We're in a Bible [C] row, [A#] don't ever let the shit [G] go on, yeah [C#] yeah.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [Gm] _ We don't have for the rest of my life.
_ _ [A] _ [G]
We don't have for the rest of my life.
[Gm] _ _ _
We don't have for the rest of [C] my life.
I don't belong [A#] to you, [C#] I don't belong to [G] you.
_ [Dm] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [G] We _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] were never a huge [D] band, but it was a good sized [F#] band.
We used to draw in major cities like 2500 people in Toronto and 5000 people [G#] in New York and [N] Memphis and 3000 in LA, 3000 in London.
_ _ Cleveland, 2500 people.
So we had a decent following.
We never sold gold and platinum records, never had a hit record, but we did influence a lot of musicians _ and a lot of other bands.
I think we've actually influenced more bands than Vanilla Fudge did. _
