Chords for Hang On Sloopy, Rick Derringer LIVE IN CONCERT with RINGO STARR, CLEVELAND OHIO July 20, 2010

Music and a lot of fun.
And we're gonna start the roll this evening _ with the homeboy himself. _ _
_ _ Ray Tannington. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ I'm gonna say it one more time, I'm so happy to be here.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Now just because you're all from Ohio, you don't necessarily [Gm] know that my first [A#] band was called The Bacoons.
[C] _ _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ [E] Bob Caron still has the [C] billboard in the yard that shows Hang [F#] On Sloopy as number [N] one. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ While Yesterday by The Beatles is number two. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D#] You probably already guessed it, that only lasted one week.
_ _ _ Only one week.
But _ [C] not everybody in Ohio knows either that Hang On Sloopy [D#] has the distinction of being the only rock and roll song in the [Em] history of the world that's ever been voted an [G] official state rock and roll anthem.
[C#m] _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This is the most great rock and roll hall of fame.
_ [G#] In fact if you go over there to the rock and roll hall of fame there's an exhibit right now called Hang On Sloopy.
The music [N] of Ohio.
And we're gonna play it for you right now. _

_ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _ [C#] You [G#m] know when I first recorded [F#] this song, all the way back in the 90s.
_ _ _ It [C#] _ [G#] was _ _ _ a long time. _
[F#] The very first thing our hot shot [C#] New York [B] City producers did.
_ _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#]
The second verse. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] And I've heard [C#m] this song throughout your whole [F#] lives.

You know the night you said [G#] the ramblin' stray had lost a girl.
You know why?
It _ _ was the last time.
Right here baby. _ _ _ _
She's a little too much [C#] for me. _ _ _ _
_ [F#] You guys know that's [C#] fantastic.
[G#] She's just a little [F#] girl.
_ [B] _ _ [C#] _ _ [G#]
That's [F#] my _ _ [C#] last thought.
