[Bb] It was him.
See, [B] in American blues and [Bb] R&B, they refused to limit [D] their imagination, drawing [Db] on rock,
_ reggae, [Bm] rockabilly, funk, _ [Db] Celtic, [Bb] Arabic, and Indian [B] influences to create unique music

Working a lot.
[B] Robert Slang, Jimmy [N] Page, Jonesy, and Bonzo, they were playing true world music before

groupies twerked.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I can do that.

_ You'll have to do it a little bit up from the cover, not much.
This is all going to be standard tuning, right?
So, _ [N] I'll just go for it.
I've done this.

Start it off, right?
Well, to a degree.
OK.
But can we do something else after that that's a bit more down in the bucket?

Something like that.
Is there anything that you can do that we know that we can do?
Who, me?
You and [E] I started off and everybody joins in.
[Bm] _ Yeah, yeah, there is.
OK, well give us a clue what it is.

[B] _ What are we starting on?
Do you want to start on that one?

I'll start.
That's all right.
