Chords for Heart Be Still - Billy and the Beaters on Thicke of the Night

_ _ Coming [Gm] up, the beat [Dm] goes on with Billy and the [A#] Beaters.
All right.
[F#] Billy and the Beaters.
This is Billy, the leader beater.
_ And, Billy, how would you describe your music?
How's the band's music?
Well, I would say if Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys
were playing in America today in 1983,
that's probably what he'd sound like.
A little bit of blues, a little bit of rhythm and blues,
a little bit of country, a little bit of rock and roll.
All the good stuff.
How would you describe your glasses?
I would say that Illinois Jaquette.
You remember Illinois Jaquette,
the great tenor saxophonist from the 40s?
Sorry, but there's_
That's Mary Jaquette back there, his grandmother. _ _ _
And he wore those?
Yeah, he's wearing gla_
Or you stole them from him?
No, he wore glasses exactly like these,
and I don't want to be accused of being a grave robber.
What _ about your own musical background?
You've written for some impressive people.
I think it started back in 1964.
You wrote a tune for Ricky Nelson.
Yeah, I had the distinction of having
Ricky's last chart record.
I took him off the charts.
What was the tune?
It's called Mean Old World,
and it was a _ multi-million-selling record,
so 85 million records unless the IRS is listening.
Yes, in which case it sold 50 or 60.
_ What about some of the other people?
Dolly Parton you've written for?
I had a number one record with her. _ _ _
_ Sol Parton.
Good to see you.
Beautiful, babe.
It's wonderful.
_ _ _ Who else?
I just want to have a moment here.
Yes, you're going to meet everybody in the audience individually.
She's cute.
No, Dolly recorded one of my songs in 1979
after I hadn't had a hit record in 10 years,
and I thought I was about through.
I was working at the car wash, _
and Dolly cut this song and made me more money.
That helps.
Not the one you're going to do now.
No, no.
The tune you're going to do now is?
It's called Heartbeat Still,
but before I do that, I would like to ask you what you think.
_ You see me without my shades, right? _
And you think that the women out here could stand it?
I think they'll go crazy if you take them off.
That's what I'm afraid of.
My ears are very sensitive and they hurt.
I hate to hear grown women scream.
_ I'd take a chance if I were you.
All right.
Billy and the Beaters, Sans Specs.

[Am] There could be trouble [Em] brewing.
Might be a power struggle.
