Chords for Last Man Standing: The Drew Landry Story

[Gb] She just has to sing for the sake [G] of [B] the song.
_ _ _ _ [Gb] Who do I think that I am to decide that [Eb] she's [B] wrong?
_ [E] So what do [D] you [N] do musically?
_ _ Folky, _ southern rocky, bluesy, I don't know.
That's cool.
So are you guys going to get 99 cent smoothies?
Yeah.
That's better.
Tell them the banana is doing a great job.
What's your name?
I'm Mr.
Banana.
Alright, sweet.
Can I get a CD? _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
[N] I write for Offbeat Magazine and Dirty Linen Magazine.
And they had this CD and it was homemade.
This is the most interesting CD I've ever seen in my life.
[G] What is this?
And they go, oh that's Drew Landry.
I just couldn't believe the songs and the depth of writing.
It was still his first project.
I tell you what, the second [F] CD, there were a bunch of writers fighting over to review the [N] second CD that he put out.
And [Ab] luckily I won.
_ _ [N] _ _ From time to time I also do these house concerts when I have an artist that I really believe in.
And I won't just do anybody and people call me all the time.
But I have to feel like I'm going to do a house concert with somebody I feel like a connection with.
_ Because a lot of times with the house concerts, nobody's ever heard of some of these people.
So I can't have them if I really don't believe [C] in them.
It's [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] a good environment for [G] an artist to gain exposure.
And when they come back to town, if they've played enough house concerts in the area, they got a little bit of a following.
I'm _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [N] going to hear a song about my youth. _ _
I guess I don't have much choice.
[Gm] Here you go, this is what [C] it's [G]
[D] about.
Yeah, it's [G] about_
Woo-hoo, [Em] woo-hoo, [C] woo-hoo, [D] woo-hoo.
I'll take my shoes off.
[G] _ Here's that leaf sticker.
[C] _
[G] _ [D] _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] It [Em] ain't as easy as [C] it [D] used to be to [G] steal a car.
_ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ [G] She drove right [Em] through a stop sign.
[C] His friend's [A] house, [D] parked it in [G] her mama's yard.
[Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ [G] My [Em] neighbors down the [C] street had fancy [D] BMXs, used [G] to race on [Em] Saturday.
_ [C] _
[D] I've noticed a lot of singer [A]-songwriters at these folk festivals tend to [Dm] sing about themselves.
_ [D] Drew, his [G] songs are more about things that happened.
And they may be partly about things that happened to him, but they're not really _ just about himself.
He takes the whole world, the whole [E] picture, and puts [G] them into his songs.
_reminded
of [Em] the things they [C] say, honey [D] dear.
_ [G] Woo [Em]-hoo, _ [C] woo [D]-hoo, woo-hoo, [G] woo-hoo.
_ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _
[D] _ _ His is [Gm] different.
He puts his heart [D] into it.
The music today is kind of, they think of [G] _
what other people do, and his is [D] like home, [C] his home.
_ _ We were [Em] juvenile delinquents, [G] _ _ [D] _ [C] _ _ [Em] not rich [G] enough for private school.
We're bad enough [C] for [Em] LTI.
Most of us [G] wound up doing time.
[D] A couple [C] of them died.
[Em] They kicked us [G] out of middle school, [D] skipping [C] class and smoking [Em] dink.
I ain't saying [G] we was worth a damn, but [D] maybe not [C] as bad as [Em] they were thinking.
[G] Woo [D]-hoo.
[C] We were [Em] juvenile delinquents.
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ [C] We stole your [Em] mama's liking, [G] _ dancing, [D] drinking, [C] till there was nothing [Em] left.
_ [G] Well, good show tonight, [D] man.
I had [C] a great time.
It's the first time I've ever sold a CD [Ab] to every person that came.
[N] The CD money made up for the gas, and now that Gary and Kevin are gone, it's like, _ I can afford to eat.
So, [A] it's [Ab] good, man.
We made enough to get to the next [Db] town.
[B] _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
