We need to bring her back to the state.
Yes, we need to bring her back.
She needs to be [G] out of there.
[E] Get her back.
Jerry, you tell them what you're on.
[A#] Alright, I guess, well we might be on [C#] records
of how old we've been in Korea,
but there's plenty [D] of dances back there.

by some folks down in Alabama,

use your one battery and place it on [F#] the box
and see if it works.

In [N] case it sounded a little bit like
old [A#] parts at the same time.
