[C] [Dm]
It's a raining [Bbm] in the heart [A] with me and John.
[Dm] Saw the river and stopped and [A] rolled everything.
[F] Land is blue and dixie, down the [C] fault line.
[Bb] Feel alright when you hear the music ring.
[C] [Dm] And now you step inside but you don't see [A] too many faces.
[Dm] Coming [C] out of the rain you hear the [A] jack go down.
[F]
Competition in [C] all the places.
[Bb] Above the home, the [Dm] glory and that sound.
[C] Way on down south, way on down [Dm] south.

[C] [Dm] check out guitar talk.
[A] He knows all the calls.
[Dm] Man is creepy with him, he doesn't wanna make [A] it cry or sing.
[F] That said an old guitar [C] is old, he can't afford.
[Bb] When he gets up on the lights to play [Dm] his thing.
[C]
[D] And Harry doesn't mind if [A] he doesn't make the scene.
[A] [Dm] He's got a date and Joe is [A] doing alright.
He [F] can play the honky tonk [C] like anything.
[Bb] Sailing up [Dm] Friday night with [C] the saucers.
Where the [Dm] sultans are swinging.
[Bb] [C]
[Dm] [Bb] [C]
[Dm] And the crowd of you boys they are fooling around [A] in the corner.
[Dm] Drunk on Twizzlers, Bass, Brown Baggies and [A] the platform soul.
[F] Don't give a damn [C] about any trumpets playing bands.
[Bb] It ain't what they call [Dm] rock and roll.
