I was on the bus coming back to us [B] from Atlanta in 53 [F#]
and I picked up a rhythm and blues magazine
[C#] laying underneath my seat and [F#m] I found [F#] out the stuff they'd been [D#m] playing us wasn't [B] made
for grips [F#] and bones and it would take more than the crew cuts [C] and [C#] that phone to take me [F#] home
I want the real thing, give me [B] the real thing, make [F#] it loud, make you proud of the songs [C#] they sing
I don't want [F#] you under my roof with your 86 groove [B] watered down till it tastes [F#] like tea
you're gonna pull my string make [C#] it the real [F#] thing for me
[C#]
[F#]
I remember old Elvis when he forgot to [B] remember to [F#] forget
and when young Johnny Cash hadn't seen this side [C#] of Big River yet
[F#] and when the sun was more than daylight [B] shining on Memphis, [F#] Tennessee
and Luther and Lewis Perkins was a [B]-picking [C#] and a-playing them songs for [F#]
