I've been a lot of talk since I started doing this, especially back home in the States about whether it's this country or whether it's rock and roll.
Personally, I couldn't care less.
[C] [N]
And in Canada and here, y'all didn't really care either, which has made it kind of neat.
It made things relatively easy.
So, you know, [Db] the main thing is there's two kinds of music.
There's good music and there's [Gm] bad music.
[N] And this here is a perfectly [Am] good British hillbilly [D] song.
