Chords for Sprague Brothers : Pretty Blue Eyes/12-19-91

Okay, before we get in too deep, let's introduce the panel.
[N] _
On the far left, we got Frank Sprague of the Fabulous Sprague Brothers.
How's it going?
Frank, it's good to see you, man.
Good to see you, Daddy-O.
Actually, we're combing our hair similar these days.
I just noticed that it's creased on the side.
Yeah, you didn't?
So, I'm kind of_
Well, that happens when you wear dupé, you know.
Uh-huh.
_ And then, next to him, we got Chris [E] Sprague.
Chris, welcome to the show.
Thank you very much.
It's good to see you guys here.
It's been [C#] about a couple months,
but we'd like to have you on the show as much as possible.
When we go network, of course, you will be the house band.
_ Great.
All right, good.
And the way the networks are going, we'll be on pretty soon.
[D] That's what I'm saying. _
To my immediate left, we got baby Jessie.
Jessie, how you doing? _
_ _ _ _ _ _ She's uncomfortable.
[A#] Okay.
_ [E] She's making noises like a bird. _
She has nothing to say, but she's awful cute,
and she's here because I got to get a babysitter today.
And next to her, we got Todd Everett.
Todd, welcome to the show.
[N] It's nice for you to make it today.
It was just about started.
We thought you were going to walk in while it was in progress.
I was kind of hoping to, actually,
because it's always been a sort of a joke we've had about somebody doing that.
And I think Mr.
Morrison is the only person who's actually done that.
Going to walk [A#] on, yeah.
_ Okay, well, you know, I was expecting a lot of other guests,
but I don't mind the guests we got. _
I was going to do some newspaper talking.
Todd's always good for that.
_ [A#]
Anything, as usual, I always say, anything burning in your crock today
that you see on the paper?
Not in particular.
As opposed to anything burning in your crock.
That would be kind of bad.
[F] While I'm looking for [A#] material,
I could ask the Sprague Brothers a few questions.
For those of you who have never seen the band before,
[D] you guys are Texas and California natives, I guess, if that's possible.
Kind of, yeah.
I have to [G#] say we're from the sea, though.
You're from the sea.
Yeah.
An old pirate term, yeah.
It's a pirate term.
We play pirate music, so.
And you play pirate music.
Right, right.
There's an echo [E] in this room.
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [B] We taught him well, yeah.
[A#] Pirate music is the type of thing you're pioneering, I guess.
Yeah, it's a new form of instrumental rock and roll.
I saw you guys in Hook, didn't I?
[F#] No, probably with a hooker, but not in Hook.
I knew it was something like that.
_ _ _ [A#]
And you're playing this pirate music all around town,
various [Cm] clubs around Los Angeles.
Not so much in Texas.
[A#] _ We actually have played quite a [F#] bit around.
Oh, yeah.
We like to play Fitzgerald's in Houston and just a lot of clubs. _
We play festivals and parties [G#] and, you know.
So then I guess that van you have is your land schooner.
Yeah.
Your land [F#] galleon.
Well put.
Sometimes we have land yachts, but in your case, you said.
Yeah.
Have you got skull and crossbones on it or anything?
Inside, we've got a few of them stuck on here and there.
_ Okay.
You seem to have a Buddy Holly [Bm] fixation that we have mentioned in shows [A#] past
that you're a distant relative to the Holly family.
Is that correct?
Right.
I mean, five times removed and then some.
_ _ _ [B] Yeah, close to third cousins.
So [D#] what's the reason for this Buddy Holly [G#] fixation?
I mean, there's a lot of other things [F#] to fix on.
Just about anything in rock and roll from the start in the 50s or [A#] whenever,
all the way up to now, we [Am] like, you know, because we like rock and [B] roll.
We even like [F#] the crummy stuff.
I mean, we're rock and roll aficionados, which is pretty hard to say.
I'll say.
So I'm glad I got that off.
I'll say.
Let me look for some more material.
Why should we gab when – we will gab,
but why should we gab when the Sprague Brothers could play a zing?
You got to play something else for her.
[E] Okay. _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ All that [C#m] was in love before, [E] _ until you [C#m] looked in its door.
[A] Pretty blue eyes.
[B] _ _ _ [E] Pretty blue eyes. _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ All the guys [C#m] in the neighborhood _ [E] _ keep saying [C#m] you sure look good [A] with your blue eyes.
[B] _ _ _ [E] Pretty blue _ eyes.
[G#] _ _ _ [C#m] _ Saw you [G#m] from my window.
[C#m] _ My heart skipped [G#m] a beat.
_ [C#m] _ Going [G#m] to stand on your doorstep [E] _ [F#] until I [B] _ [F#] can't breathe.
[E] Pretty blue eyes.
Please [C#m] come back soon, girl, [E] so I can tell [C#m] you what I have to say,
[A] that I love you.
[B] I love you.
[E] Pretty blue eyes.
_ [B] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[C#m] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [C#m] _ Saw you [G#m] from my window.
_ [C#m] _ My heart [G#m] skipped a beat.
_ [C#m] _ Going to stand [G#m] on your _ doorstep [F#] _ until I [B] can't breathe.
[E] Pretty blue eyes.
Please [C#m] come back soon, girl, so [E] I can tell you [C#m] what I have to say,
[A] that I love you.
[B] I love you.
[E] Pretty blue _ _ eyes. _ _ _ _ _ _
