Alright, I think we better bring out our friends now.
Welcome to the show, back to the show.
While they're setting [Ab] up their microphones and what not,
[Gm]
[E] I want to tell you how much fun we've been having doing these shows with them.
And [F] if you haven't heard their record, it's really [Eb] great.
You can probably get a [A] copy out in the lobby or something.
It's called OCMS, right?
[F]
Old Crow Medicine Show, [C] OCMS.
That's what it's called.
[D] Dave produced it.
And I play drums on it.
And I'm completely [Bb] impartial.
[A] [F] It's really great.
[D] [Abm]
Okay, we're going to try this.
This will be the highly rehearsed portion of the [D] show.

[Bm] I'm ready
[D] for [G] the war
[A]
Like a wrecking [D] ball
I've been there, [G] on that road [A] soon
I've been [A]
there, [G] and I'll [D] miss you
[G] The days are rough, and it's [D] all quite dim
[Bm] But my [A] mind cuts [D] [G] through
Like
[Bm] [A] a [D] wrecking [D] ball
[G] [D] I'm
[Bm] just a little dead [D]
[G] head
Who [D] is watching?
[G] Who is watching?
[G] [D] I'm
[Bm] just a little dead head
[G] [D] Fallen down and hooked up on scholarship
I [A] got tired [G] of my [D] every slip
And I just wanna [D] be in the pocket
Where [Bm] the [A] needle [A] [G] and the cord

[A] She showed me colors that [G] I've never [D]
seen
[G] And drank a bottle [D] of rock tea
[Bm] And let [A]
it [G] soar
[Bm] [A] Like a [D] wrecking [D] ball
[G] I'm just [Bm] a little dead [D] [G] head
[D] Who is watching?
[G] Who is watching?
I'm [Bm] just a little dead head
[G] With too [D] much trouble for me [D] to share
[A] Oh, but I'm [G] glad that I'm here
[D] [G] We were riding high until [D] the 89th wave
We [Bm] could stand [A] across the sky [G] and laugh
[E] [Bm]
[A] Like a [D] wrecking ball
