Chords for Daryl Hall and Kenny Loggins - Your Mama Don't Dance

_ [D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ It's been a long time.
[E] I was co-billing [B] with Hall & Oates, [D] _
was it three years ago?
Dream, I [Ab] confess, is one of my [Eb] favorites.
You make my dream [F] come true.
And he was generous enough [Ab] to let me pick which song I wanted to do with him.
Of [B] his rockers, this is probably on the top of my list.
I'm looking [Ab] forward to Mama Don't Dance because I want to see what [G] these guys do with it.
Mama Don't Dance was written with Jimmy Messina as a sort of a joke and was done very [Ab] slow
down, kind of city [C] blues.
[G] And then gradually, [Ab] being the nervous teenagers [C] that we were, we pumped it up into a much
brighter rock thing.
So I want to see [G] where we can go with this today.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
All right, how you doing?
All right, [E] thanks man.
[Bm] _
_ [Gb] Sure, yeah.
_ _ Hey, there he is, man.
How you doing?
[B] Hey man, at long last.
[E] At long last, we [B] talked about this, right?
Yeah, [A] a few times.
Good [B] to see you, brother.
You too.
Yeah, man, you're looking [Gb] good.
Yeah, you [B] too.
What's going on?
[A] Dang, [B] this, my club.
Congratulations.
[Gb] Pretty cool.
I'm kicking ass.
Yeah, meet everybody.
Shane, good to [A] meet you.
How you doing, man?
[E] Brian, nice to meet you. Howdy.
Yeah.
_ Nice to meet you.
[Gb] You're a smoking band, man. Yeah, man.
Cool.
Come on, let's go inside. _

My NC, right?
Yeah.
All along, Danny, Danny, run, run. _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ That'll work.
You're just going to start it by yourself?
Why don't you go with [Db] me on that?
Okay, and [C] then you're going to slow it down.
And then you'll play over that.
Okay.
[E] Yeah.
So you take the second [D] intro.
I take the second half. Okay.
And then [F] we're into the bridge.
You want to take the vocal there?
_ Uh, I can.
[N] ♪ Pulled into a drive-in, found a place to park ♪
You could go,
♪ Oh, you know I'm just a-goin' and thinkin' of the breeze ♪
Yeah, I can do that.
A little more soulful there.
Anybody [Am] in this group play the comedic role?
[E] Oh.
Out of the car, long hair!
[Eb] _ _ Oh, yes!
Lovely. _
_ [C] You know, you look like you'd be the guy to do that.
[E] Can you do it in German, though? No.
_ _ [F] _
Don't you?
_ Ross in the automobile. _ _
[Cm] Off to the car.
[C] _ _ _ _ _
[E] All right.
_ _ We have a [N] little funny, on that first break.
That's good, man.
_ [E] Can you do that?
Porter can do it [G] easily.
_ Er, doh, [E] be-go.
Oh, no, [Gb] that's the voice.
[E] That's the voice.
Er, doh, be-go.
[N] And it's all because your mama gone.
That's right.
It takes us into that first real chorus.
[Gb] Save the walk-up for your [Ab] chorus.
Yeah, he's [C] right.
Let's do it from the top, Adam.
We can do this.
Let's do it. _ _
