Chords for Jerry Lee Lewis on Nashville Now (3)

[E] _ _ [N] Okay, man's got a one-track mind. _
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that.
_ Doug, Jerry Lee Lewis, T.G. Shepard, do you know these gentlemen?
Good to see you.
Doug, I am rather curious about you.
I get curiouser and curiouser. _
I understand that _ this was the same reaction that David Letterman had about you.
You have become sort of the ongoing subject on that program, haven't you?
He's done everything, particularly about my hair.
In case he's watching tonight, I wish he'd start talking about me on there.
I'd like to see the show.
Dave, so if you are watching the show tonight, talk about my hair or whatever.
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [G] _
[N] Yes, _ _ _ _ Mr.
Lewis, you are well coiffed tonight.
Yeah, he'd be, for some reason, he became fascinated with your hair, didn't he?
Yeah, and they put some other people's faces _ superimposed [A] over mine and
put my hair on top of their [Dm] heads.
Grace Jones.
_ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I, uh, yeah, I think it is, T.G.
I, the reason I said, oh, really, in your introduction, I know,
I know that you wrote that introduction.
And I was reading it off of the cue cards.
And I didn't realize that that congratulates you.
I didn't realize that the survey had indicated you were so hot on the nation's college campuses.
Yeah, I couldn't believe it.
Actually, I'm number two, but you don't want to go around going,
I'm number two, you know.
_ _ So I just say the top three, you know. _
_ I'm Baptist, all right.
You know, my dad was a Baptist minister.
And I mean, like, I'm very, I like other denominations and all, and I don't understand
a lot of them [E] because, like, I was Baptist.
We got John the Baptist.
That's our guy.
[N] You know, that's who, that's who we were named after.
[E] I guess you [G] do have to put up with a lot there.
But I, but now, are you Baptist?
What are you?
Assembly of God.
[N] Okay, let's see, do you guys have anybody like, like, do you have, like, Frank the Assembly of
God or, you know?
Well, we have the Assembly of God.
I was wondering, but like, Krishna's, I don't get into that because they gave me one of their
Bibles at an airport.
Everybody's got a Bible now.
I don't think that's what God meant because, like, in my Bible, it says,
Behold, the Comforter cometh, and in theirs, it's here comes the quilt.
_ _ _ _ _ That's bad.
_ _ Andy, _ are you, are you ever at a loss for words?
Am I, am I ever what?
Are you ever at a loss for words?
Yeah, I, you want to hear something?
This is awful.
All right, I'm really, I'm embarrassed
to tell you this.
This really happened, right?
I'm going to go ahead and tell you.
I was in, I was in this town, this is a couple of weeks ago, and I went in to the, to the lounge
thing there at the Holiday Inn that I was at, and there was this girl [A#] sitting there, all right?
_ [N] And she was beautiful, all right?
I mean, she was beautiful.
_ [G] _ And so, I [N] mean, I'm cool, right?
And so I went up and I said,
Hi.
[E] _ [N] Girl did not say a word.
I said, Hi.
_ Yeah, she did not even look up.
And I said, I'm Andy.
And she said, Gay.
I said, Nice to meet you, Gay.
How you doing?
She said, No, I'm gay.
I said, Oh, well,
how's about we go pick up some women? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I didn't know what to say.
Yes, right. _ _ _ _
_ [G] Well, Andy, I, _ _ [N] I can't ask you a question, but what you set me up, don't you?
_ Okay, we're going to take a break and we're going, I want to introduce somebody sitting
on the front row here at the Gaslight Studio.
I have not seen her in years,
but I have worked with her in the past.
She's a marvelous singer and used to record with her
big brother.
And that is Linda Gale Lewis, Jerry Lee's sister and her daughter, Annie.
Right there. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Linda Gale, it's a pleasure to have you here at our show.
Now let's bring on the brother.
Here again is the old rockin' killer from Memphis, Jerry Lee Lewis.
[A] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ Every time it rain, [C] I just run right [G] to my window.
_ All I want to do is raise my [D] hands and
say, baby, why you been gone so long?
_ _ [G] Can't _ _ [Gm] you hear that [G] lonesome wind blow?
Hey, tell me, [D] baby, why you been [G] gone so long?
_ _ Tell me, baby, why you been gone?
[C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#] When _ _ _ [G] I keep crouching at Jerry [C] Lee's door, I can _ [G] _ hear him say, tell me, baby, [D] why you been gone [G] so long? _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _
[D] _ [G] _ _ _ Well, ain't nothing left for me to [C] do.
I guess I [G] could get stoned.
Let the past paint pictures on
my [D] head.
[G] I might kill me a fifth of [C] thunderbird and write [G] myself a sad song.
Hey, tell [D] me, baby,
why you been gone so [G] long?
_ _ Tell me, baby, why you been [C] gone so long?
Tell [G] _ _ me, baby, why you been
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] gone so long?
When I keep crouching at the door, [C] I can hear [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ [E] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _ [Am] _
[G] _ _ _ _ him say, tell me, baby, why you been [C] gone so long?
[G] _ Tell me, baby, why you been [D] gone so long?
_ [B] _ _ [G] When I'm scratching at my [C] door, I _ _ [G] can hear him say, tell me, [D] baby, why you been gone [G] _ _ so long?
Hey, tell me, baby, [D] why you been gone so [G] long? _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
