_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [Bm]
Oh man, this playing [B] music for a living is a real good deal.
_ _ I mean [E] for a fella like [G#m] me that don't like to [Bm] work and [C#] too [E] nervous to steal.
[G#] _
_ _ And this [C] guitar [A] here, _ [C#m] that's my partner [Bm] in crime.
[E] And we've been doing [C] this thing together for an awful long time.
_ [Bm] _
He's a [B] Gibson stereo, _ [E] ES _
[G]-345, [Bm] _ [B] cherry red, _ _
[D] 1959.
[B] _ _ [A] And a sound, _ [Em] whoo, a [E] sound that nowhere else in the world [B] can it be found.
_ I call it [C#] Red Dog.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] I _
_ [Bm] _ guess [D] me and [E] him are [G#m] quite a bit alike.
_ [E] Really, you know, kind of beat up and broke down, but _ the people say we sound all [G#] right.
_ _ [B] _ [A] Seasoned up good with years and years of cigarette [Am] smoke.
[A] _ And all the [E] amplifiers we blew up [C#] [E] and all the strings we broke.
_ _ [C#] And [E] back in the drinking days, [G] staggering around [B] here with the hiccups.
[D#m] _
_ [B] _ _ [Am] Spilling [A] beer down in the [Em]
pickups.
[A] _ _ [Bm] Oh, that's [E] my boy.

_ _ [F#] _ _ [A] _ [E] Yeah, [Bm] we've played thousands of gigs [E] _ _ all over the [C#m] world, every place.

I know we've partied with the people of [E] each and every state.
[G] _
[Bm] Jamming around [D] from town to [A] town, I tell you what, we've rolled through every city.
Kicked so much butt, DeVoe's shoes got [F#] shitty.
