Here's a little song, it's a lovely song about a little island east of here.
Six months after I recorded this song, it became a million seller.
Not my record, but the song did.
I think when you hear the song, you recognize it.
[G] [C]
Galveston, [F] oh [C] Galveston, why do I hear sea [F] winds a-blowing?
[G] Why do I [C] see your dark eyes [F] a-glowing?
[Dm] [G] You were twenty [Am]-one when [F] I left [C] Galveston.
[N] Thank you very much, thank you very much.
I gotta tell you, [B] the guy that made that song a big smash, sitting right here in the audience with us tonight,
my buddy, old buddy of mine, one of the, I would say the most loved all-American boy in showbiz today,
buddy, sweet, sweet guy, we surf together a lot, Mr.
Glenn Sweetly Lonnie Campbell!
[N]
[B]
Hiya, Glenn.
How are you doing, Glenn?
Hey, really great working with you.
You got a new song for me?
I want a teachy one.
[F] It's a good country song.
[B] Might spice up, you know, the natives a little bit.
Okay, what country song?
Go ahead.
[C] Ready?
[F] [C]
[F] Curly shells by the ocean.
Yeah, they're [Bb] shining in the sun, and [G] they're covering the shore.
[C] Like I lost another soul [F] when I see them.
Well, my heart [Bb] tells me I love you all, [E] more [F] than all,
[C] them little bitty [F] curly shells. Hey, Glenn.
You [G] got a country song?
[B]
[G] Yeah, a country song, Glenn.
We're singing [Ab] this one over here.
[B] Come on, gang.
[F] Curly shells, from the ocean, [Bb] shining in the sun, [G] covering the
[C] shore.
[F] [Bb]
[F] [C] [F]
For every grain of gold [C] on the beach, [F] I've got a kiss for you.
[Cm] And I've got more left over from [G] each star, that twinkled in the blue.
A windfall, a windfall, [F] a moonly blue.
A windfall, a kind of blue.
A kind of blue, [Bb] a little bit of blue.
A windfall, [G] like a bell,
[C] [F] [Bb]
[F] [C]
[F] more than all.
[C] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[B] [N]
They don't call me the Horned Hillbilly.
[G]
[Ab] All kidding aside, Glenn, do you remember the very first time you and I met?
[A] When I met you the first [Gb] time, I'm sure we sang [B] together.
That's about how we were the first time we met.
I was on a show for Shindig, and I came in the club one night, and you asked me to get up and sing, and really, that was the biggest trouble.
So [Bb] you came up, you were very shy, you had your [Gb] head down, and you played the guitar.
[B] I just played the guitar, and you were really fantastic.
You know, [G] I fell in love with [B] you a few minutes after that.
I mean, what I'm trying to say, I became a big fan of yours.
Oh, thank you, darling.
After you started to sing, you sang a couple of songs.
I predicted that Glenn would be a big television star, a movie star, a superstar,
and make all kinds of records and things.
[A] You've come a long way since that night, Glenn.
[Ab] I [B] can hardly believe it was only a week ago.
It was a little longer
