Dear Ed, welcome to my house.
Thank you, John.
Have a seat.
Thank you very much.
Boy, you sing good.
That was really fun.
Thank you.
That's a pretty song.
You know, I'm so happy to be with you this week on your television show, John.
Well, for many years, you know, I've admired your work, and I know that you're a great writer and a great poet and a great singer, but you have one thing that people in show business always long for.
You've got the identifiable sound, you know, like if you go on the record or something, on the radio, you hear boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Well, you know that's Johnny Cash right away.
Well, I have to give the Tennessee Three credit for most of that.
They supply the background sound.
Hey, you should come to Nashville sometime and try some down-home recording type.
You've got some great people here.
I'd like to do that.
And, you know, I got a little different problem.
You've got that wonderful Tennessee Three, but I've got usually a very large orchestra and large orchestrations.
And I thought maybe as long as I'm here with you in Music City that maybe I could get a sound.
Maybe I could find a sound, the [E] Ed Ame sound.
What do you think?
You mean down to earth, grassroots?
Exactly.
[Bb]
[A] That's what I'm talking about.
[Bm] Living on free [D] food tickets, water and the milk from the hole in the roof [C] where the rain came through.
What can [G] we do?
[A] [Db] [D] Tears from little sister crying cause she doesn't have a dress with all the cash [C] for the party to go.
[Em] But you [G] know [A] she'll get [Em] by [D] because she's living in the love [G] of the common [A] people.
[D] Smile from the heart [G] of a family [A] friend [D] that is on the [G] fire of dreams [A] that bring you.
[D] Mama don't [G] love her just as much as [A] she can and [D] she can.
[Bb]
Well, [Eb] it's a good thing you don't have a bus fare.
It will fall [Gm] through the [Cm] hole in your pocket [Eb] and you lose [Db] it.
It will throw me ground.
[Ab] Walk into town.
To [Bb] find a job you have to leave.
[Eb] Tryin' to keep your hands warm.
It's a hole in your shoe.
Let the snow come through [Db] and it chills [Ab] to the bone.
Boy, you better get home where [Bb] it's warm.
But you [Eb] can live in the love [Ab] of the common [Bb] people.
[Eb] Smile from the heart [Ab] of a family [Bb] man [Eb] that is on the fire [Ab] of dreams [Bb] that bring you.
[Eb] Mama's gonna love you [Ab] just as much as [Bb] she can and [Eb] she can.
[B] [E] Well, livin' on dreams ain't easy.
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit [D] and the chills go away.
[A] You take a new stride, [B] family pride.
Yes, you [E] know that faith is your foundation.
And with a whole lot of love and a warm conversation, [A]
[D] plenty of prayer, you keep [A] in your thought.
There [B] you belong.
But you [E] can live in the [A] love of the [B] common people.
[E] Smile from the [A] heart of a [E] family man that is on the fire [A] of dreams that bring you.
[E] Mama's gonna love you just [A] as much as she [B] can and [E] she can.
[F] Livin' in the [C] love [Bb] of the common [C] people.
[F] Smile from the heart [Bb] of a family [C] man.
[F] Mama's gonna love [Bb] you
[C] [F] [Bb] just as much as [C] she can.
Just as much as she can.
[Cm] And she [Bb]
can.
[F] What is that?
[N]
