Matchbox 20 - 08 Lonely Weekend chords
Start Jamming...
This next song, I really can't tell you what it's about because I didn't write it.
And none of us did.
But we're doing this for Sun Records.
There's a Sun Records tribute coming out, and this was the song that we heard
that we thought it would be just a lot of fun to do.
And then we figured we were playing it in rehearsals, and it was so much fun
that we [E] just thought we'd just go ahead and do it while we're [F] here tonight,
since it's just throwing on [E] the fire.
So this is an old, old, old Sun Records ditty called Lonely Weekend.
