_ _ _ _ _ _ Thumbs up.
Then up to F, _ _ exactly the same thing.
[F] _ _ F at the bottom, _ _ C at the top [Ab] and [Am] wobble that [Ab] [A] jazzy
third.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

We'll build up pace. _ _
[F] Get out of that kitchen, _ lady, rattle them pots and [Cm] _ pans.
[E] _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
We'll roll _ my breakfast, [E] [F] because I'm a hungry [C] _ man.
_ _ _ But of course, _ _ [G] when you finish _ soloing,
singing [Eb] a solo with a [F] _ pentatonic. _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _

[Eb] going to [D] slow [Db] things up [C] and build the [Bb] pace [A] and _ [G] _ [C] _ [D] slow it [Eb] down.
[E] _
[Bb] _ _ _ Now we're going to dwell [Eb] upon [D] _ _ [G] _ [Bb] _ the world of [A] music [G] and [C] ice cream.
