I wanted to do this.
I was thinking about this earlier.
Maybe I'll_
This is a risk.
I was talking also earlier [D] about time, about rhythm.
For me, I think the most important thing is time.
I don't know the word to use for it.

_ _ _ _ I don't know how to quite_
I've never done this.
I just want to_
One way I worked on it was to play the drums.
I was wondering if I could just_
[Bb] This could be real embarrassing.
_ [D] _ We're getting high.
_ Can you lift your seat a little bit?
Just lift it.
[N] _ Over the coffee. _ _ _
Bear with me.
I haven't done this in quite a few hoons. _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Gm] I want to just do blues again.

I'm real attached to the drums. _ _

They used to like to play with me because I knew where they were coming from.
