[F#m] [E] [A]
[E] Alright, that was a classic rock double shot from Paul Kelly.
[C#] Coming up after the break we're going to hear from the man himself playing live in the studio
just for you.
It's a quarter past [B] the hour of three and you're hanging with [G#m] Don on 3BO.
[N] Hi, I'm Bec.
Hi, I'm Paul.
I know, I'm a big fan. Thanks.
Don will be out soon.
Okay.
[G#]
[D] [B] PK, mate,
[F#] come on in.
[G#m] That's Don.
Don.
Ha, [G] ha.
Fantastic story PK.
So, what song are you going to play for us today?
It's called Song of the Old Rake.
Ah yes, Song about the old garden rake.
We're all set to go here so without any further ado I'll give to you Paul Kelly and the Stormwater Boys.
Three, four.
[D] [Am] [Am] [G]
Pretty child come here to me and listen to my [D] story.
I want you to sit down on [G] my knee.
Your eyes are like your mother's and your mother's [D] mother's.
Deep within the deep [G] blue sea.
[C] All them girls [G] I used to love.
[D] By the fire [G] all alone I sit dreaming [C] of.
All them [G] girls I used to hold.
[D] I made their [G] love turn cold.
[D] [Am] [Am] [G]
These old bones are aching.
These old hands are [D] shaking.
Lord, I can't see [G] the page.
Sing me the song I taught you.
Fetch my wine and [D] water.
Never thought I'd [G] reach this stage.
[C] All them [G] girls I used to know.
[D] Like a fool [G] acting smart I let them [C] go.
All them [G] girls a long time gone.
[D] I lost them [G] one by one.
[C] [G]
[D] [G]
[C] [G]
[D] [Am] [Bm] [G]
[Am] [C] All them girls [G] with their creamy [Em] skin.
[D] What I'd give [G] just to have one in my arms [C] again.
Oh my girl [G] when you start to play.
[D] Don't give your [G] heart away.
[C] All them [G] girls I used to kiss.
[D] I don't know [G] how my day all came down [C] to this.
All them [G] girls I used to [D] hold.
I made their [G] love turn cold.
[C] Oh my girl [G] when you start to play.
[D] Don't give your [G] heart away.
Nice [Em] one.
Geez PK, that sounded more like a song about all the girls in your life than about the old garden rake.
But hey, you're the creative one.
Anyway, thanks for coming in and sharing that with us.
Fine.
Okay, I'm gonna head straight into another classic rock double shot by Hootie and the Blowfish, because that's the kind of guy I am.
[N]
