_ We were searching for a song backstage, right, before the show, and he had a couple ideas,
[A] we had a couple ideas.
We were looking for something bluesy, _
[E] naturally, you know, let him [B] tear it up.
I think Nick wanted to find something that we could start acoustically [G] and then morph
[B] into the big [E] band sound.
So that seemed to work perfectly. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ Big Boss [B] Man, _ _ [Em] can't you hear me when [E] I call?
Once he started singing Big Boss Man, The Road is Rocky kind of came into my mind [Am] as
something kind of similar, you know?
I'd never actually really sung that song before.
I've heard it [E] a million times, and you know, it's kind of one of those songs that's in
your head, well, this might work, it might fit, you know, and just click all of a sudden.
Cool.
_ [A]
Honestly, it was crazy because [E] that's my first time, I think that's my first time ever doing
something with an [B] actual country artist band, so [E] with the blues and country music being
so related, _ I can say that I [Em] really enjoyed my first time actually getting the chance
to connect with some [E] country artists and [Em] matching up a song together like we did at [E] the end.
It was great.
Oh, [B] let me start the [A] big band. _ _ _ _
Can't you hear me [E] when I _ _ [A] _ _
_ [E] call?
So [B] we always have a great [E] puzzle when we're thinking about what song we're going to do
at the end, right?
And so continuing in our theme of all music is connected and it all shares the common
roots we [A] found Jimmy Reed [E] and Bill Monroe, and we're doing a little mashup.
I'm [B] Nick Forster, hope you can be with us next [Em] week right here in [E] E-Town.
Now the road is rocky, it won't be rocky long.
Oh now the [A] road is rocky, it won't be rocky long.
_ [B] Well another man has got my woman [E] and gone.
_ _ You'll never miss your water till the well runs dry.
_ [Em] [A] You'll never miss your water till the well [E] runs dry.
_ You'll [B] never miss your woman till she says [E] goodbye.
I don't believe, [B] believe, _ [E] believe.
_ [Em] _ _ _

_ _ _ _ [B] Well you ain't so [A] big, you just [E] tall, that's [E] all.
_ _ _ [B] _ Well [E] you got me working boss man, working around the clock.
[A] [E] When I want to drink the water, you know you won't let me stop.
[A] Big boss of man, _ _ can't you hear me [Em] when [B] I call? _
