Dailey & Vincent - 16 Tons chords
Start Jamming...
We decided about a year and a half [G#] ago that we wanted to hire a full-time bassist.
We [N] said, look
[D]
[B] We're gonna see if [G] there's any more business.
[E] Oh, no.
[Bm] But we decided to hire [B] this guy.
Our good friends Bill Gates and Mark Lowry told us about it.
We found him singing on YouTube and I heard him sing and I told Aaron,
I said, Aaron, you gotta hear it because [C] we make decisions together, you know.
[G] And he went in there and he [B] heard it too.
So I sent Chris a Facebook message.
I told him who we were, what we're about, [F#] and he replied back, said he never heard [N] of us, didn't care.
So I stayed on him and I stayed on [E] him and finally he came to Nashville to my living room in formal [B] rehearsal.
We [C] wanted to see what he could do with us [E] vocally.
And y'all, [D] in my living room, he'd get this big logo.
And I said, [Bm] wow, what a figure.
[F] [Bm]
Then, God really excited [E]
because I thought, [Bm] [C] it will fit right in.
[B]
[N]
And he has.
[B] [N]
Well, this song I was gonna [B] sing for you was a big hit in the 60s.
It [Bm] sold over 20 million LPs back then.
I think you know it, but we need [B] crowd participation.
Can we get everybody in the office [N] in the back?
Can we have some more Bill?
[D] [B] All you have to do is snap your fingers.
What's the beat?
All right, everybody [N] snap your fingers.
Come on, man.
It's really important.
The meeting stops.
Is somebody else?
No, no, big job, man.
Come on.
[B] One, two, three, four.
[F#]
[C#] [B]
[D]
[Bm] [F#]
[Em] [B]
[N]
I'm gonna [Bm] send it.
[A#] [D] [Em]
[B] [Bm]
[E] I'm [F#] gonna [B]
send [C#] it.
[F#] [B]
I'm [Em] [B] [G#]
[D] [F#] [Bm] gonna [D] [E] send
[B] it.

[N] I didn't think it was all that.
That was great.
I thought it was pretty sexy.
You got the sexy on this thing.
I think this look is this one.
[Cm] That's what you call [A#] sexy, that's all.
[B]
You want a picture?
[N] Yeah.
[G#] Excuse me.
Hey, get off the stage.
That's my [A#] son.
[B] You know, he might be the best tenor in this [A#] place, but don't go there.
I don't know if [N] that's a thing.
Here's what I'll do.
If you'll sing it to these fine folks [B] again, I'll act it out for you.
[A] For you what?
I'll act it [B] out for you.
Would you look at this, Harry?
Looks like you fixed it with the firecrackers.
[N]
All right, here we go.
Which leg do you feel better?
Be easy now, son.
Don't touch it.
What are you doing?
[B]
He's singing, and I'm [A] going, you just watch.
[D]
I [B] hold my [D] soul.
[F#]
[C] [A] Do [N]
what he can.
He's getting old, boy.
Grow worse.
[Bm]
[F#] [C] [N] That sounds like my boat motor.
I feel like a quip.
Love, love, [F#] love, love.
Yeah!
Now [C] that sounds like Parker on the bus every morning.
[N] Arrrr!
You want it?
Yeah!
I feel like a [D] river.
[F#]
Feel [B] like I'm gonna be strong.
[F#] [F] Oh, [Bm]
that's great.
[B] Mr.
Davis.
