Start Jamming...
[Ab] I would go on and name my daughter Sarah after the Thin Lizzy [Gb] song.
I [Ab] was like Eda with Thin [Ab] Lizzy, [B] you know, in my [C] 20s.
As a teenager, I mean, this has [Ab] just changed my life.
[E] But this band Chinatown, [Ebm] we would do five [Ab] nights a week at this place called Alice [Abm] Crossroads,
Birmingham, close to [G] Legion Field, the football [D] stadium.
It's not [Ab] a great part of town, [D] at [A] [D] all.
[E] And especially five nights a week, three [E] sets a night.
But I [C] love Thin Lizzy so much that I had the guys work up this medley of Thin Lizzy [G] tunes, you know.
And I tried [Em] to make it like live and dangerous, their [A] famous live record, [Bm] Epic, [B] right?
[Gbm] So [Db] I [C] just added this song to my repertoire.
And I always think of [Ab] Alice Crossroads and [D] the shitty beer [Db] he used to give us in the dressing room.
[Dbm]
But I [G] don't know, this song always made me [Ab] think of Texas.
[C] And I'd never been to Texas at that point, so I would like [Ab] fantasize about it.
So [Gb] it's such a [Cm] weird
[Bm] circle, you know, that I'm here with you guys.
I'm [C] in Thin Lizzy, [G] and I'm about to play this song.
[Ab] It's my world.

[Ab] All [Eb] these southern girls [C] seem the [Ab] same.
Found it [Abm] all on the [Cm] floor in [C] a town [Ab] in Mexico.
Got in my [Eb] jab, lost them props with [Fm] the rodeo.
