You know, they were off of college for a few years.
My brother [D] Tom had a day job and was married.
[A] I mean, the only person [G] for much of that time that thought of it as a [D] group was me. _
_ And even though I would go off and play with other T.I.T..s, which _ is neither right nor wrong. It's just I happened to be sort of a shy, _ _ _ _ [Eb] I don't know, shy and kind of _ _ scared person. _ _ _ _ The other guys in Creedence were a little bit more, shall I say, _ _ experimental. _ Maybe even reckless sometimes. But, _ I mean, that was the time. You know, I don't really find, _ _ I don't find a big fault with that, not really. But the _
