Jam Along & Learn...
We'd like to just do one more song that probably brings back a memory or two to you or to somebody else.
And it's a song that was sung by the Byrds that [Bb] I wrote for them.
It's called Death by being slain by the Rolling Stones.
a disc jockey in Nashville [Bb] who actually had the nerve to ask me on the air what my draft status was.
On the air, mind you.
I nodded my head like this, which doesn't make a lot of noise on the radio.
It's sort of like playing cards on the radio and saying,
[E] And he [Bb] thought he had me, but I don't know.

We'd like to just do one more song that probably brings back a memory or two to you or to somebody else.
And it's a song that was sung by the Byrds that [Bb] I wrote for them.
It's called Death _ _ _ by being slain by the Rolling Stones.
_ _ [A] _ [Abm] It's about a disc jockey in Nashville [Bb] who actually had the nerve to ask me on the air what my draft status was. _
On the air, _ mind you. _
I nodded my head like this, _ _ which doesn't make a lot of noise on the radio.
_ _ _ [Bbm] _
It's sort of like playing cards on the radio and saying,
I'm [Bb] the card trick. _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ And he [Bb] thought he had me, but I don't know. _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ He's playing cards to the record, _ [G] so he'll [D] have to pay
_ _ _ _ He's a fine little [E] friend, [D] [G] leaves him all nice to date
But [A] he sure don't take much, but throw [B] that [D] cruise, he's worthy _ _ _ _
He's a _ drugstore truck _ [A] driving man
_ _ He's the head of the Q [D] Club in Lansing

show
_ _ _ _ She's got him _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
the worst, [A] it weighs 500 pounds
_ And it sleeps on [D] his phone
_ _ _ He's a _ drugstore truck [A] driving _ man
_ _ _ He's the head of the Q Club [D] _ in Lansing _

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] The tenth largest city in the United States [Bb] was Mike
_ _ The tenth largest city means _ Baltimore, _ Maryland
[C] Yeah, it's a joke city _
[Bb] _ It's very gray there
You can get across Chesapeake Bay by taking a turn and _ ignoring it
But [Eb] if you get down into the [Bb] heart of it, you might not ever get out
This _ _ _ _ _ song was written by I think Jim Glaser,
Rodgers, and Tom Paul Green
_ It's called The Streets of Baltimore _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
