[F] I'll give this [Ab] one second here.
[Eb]
[Em] [Dm]
[E] [F] [C] Good morning.
First thing that really happened was a gig
[G] where [C] his band, King Johnson, and my band,
Modeski Martin [A] & Wood, ended up [D] on the same bill,
and Oliver sat in with us, [G] and there was [D] this moment
of [G] realization that [Gm] we should be playing [E] music together.
Something about [C] having that connection,
and then we just went our own separate [E] ways
for 15, [C] 20 years, and [Gbm] kind of [Ab] became seasoned at [G] what we did,
and [A] then to come back [E] together after all of that
[G]
[A] is pretty amazing, you know?
So I just feel like the longer we're together,
it just feels more and more like a band,
[C] [G] two brothers coming together to play some music.
[E]

[Ab] [G]
[E] [F] [C]
Can't you hear [G] your mama talking?
[E] She taught you [Fm] to hush your [C] rattling tongue
Sit down in your [Gm] chair, boy, [E] eat your [Fm] supper
And leave your [C] brother alone
[E] I [F] was once [D] just [G] like you
[E] [Am] I was [C] green [F] and blue
When [C] my mother told my [G]
father one day
[E] How much she [F] had loved her [C] life with him
And then she rose up [G] from her body
[E] And she vanished [F] in the blue and green
[C] She was [E] [F] once [D]
just [G] like me
[E] Now [Am] she's gone into [F] the blue [G] [C] and green
Blue [G] [E]
[F] [C]
[E] [F] and green
[D]
[Bm] Blue [G] and [E] green
You [Am] ain't [E] lived till [F] you seen [G] the blue [C] and green
Well, you should have seen [G] my grandmother
[Ab] She was tough and [F] strong as any [C] man
She was [G] sweet and gentle when [E] she held you
[F] She was like the lover she [C] used to have
He [E] [F] was gone, [D] now so [G] is she
[E] But [Am] they live [C] on in the blue and green
[E] Blue [F] and green
[Am] Blue [G] and [E] green
You [Am] ain't [C] lived till you seen the blue and green
[E] Blue [F] and green
[D] [G] Blue and green
[E] You [C] ain't lived till [F] you [G] seen the blue [C] and green
Keep on growing [G] up so fast
[E] Life will hit you [F] hard as you can [C] take
Well, tell me [G] all your troubles, boy
[E] And I will try to [F] take those [C] troubles away
[E] You were [F] once
[D] just [G] like me
[E] We [Am] are [C] coming from [F] the blue [G] and [C] green
[E] Blue [Am] and green
[D] Blue [G] and [E] green
You [Am] ain't [C] lived till you [F] seen [G] the blue [C] and green
[G]
[E] Blue [F] and green
[Gb] Yeah, blue [G] and green
[E] You [Am] ain't lived [C] till you seen the blue and green
[E] You ain't [Am] [C] lived till you [F] seen
Well, [C] can't you hear your [G] mama [E] talking?
She told you [F] to hush your rattling [C] tongue
