Chords for TAJ MAHAL ♫ Gonna Move Up To The Country (Paint My Mailbox Blue) • Crawfish Festival NJ • 6/3/18

[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ [Ab] This next song was [E] designed after [N] a hot Sunday in August.
_ My brothers and I had come home from church
and my mother told us that we could not go out
and play in our church clothes, which we knew.
_ And so we took our clothes off
and put on some clothes to go out and play.
And in these days, they had used [Em] asphalt on the street.
So [E] it was so hot [N] that the asphalt,
the tar would pool [G] up in the little pools
along the sidewalk right next to [C]
the curb.
[G] And people used to [Am] _ [Em] take their popsicle sticks
and [D] after they finished their popsicles,
just throw them anywhere, right?
[E] So we would get these [Em] popsicle sticks and have this game
where if you stuck [N] the stick in the tar
and [Am] it went as slow as you could [Db] to see [G] how high
you could get it [C] up and make sure
that it was [Am] still stuck [G] to the tar.
And the winner [A] was the one who won.
[Eb] So anyway, in the midst [Bm] of doing this game,
[A] we looked left [G] and here comes this [C] _ shapely,
full-figured woman [G] in a _ blue and white polka dot [A] dress,
[E] right with a big hat, full figure, big [G] bosom,
big pocket book, _ [N] you know, two-tone _ spectator pumps.
[Ab] You know what I'm [C] saying?
And she looked like she had just had [N] a great sermon.
So she was walking with the fullness thereof.
_ [Gm] And [G] even at that point, I must have been about eight
or nine years old, I'm like, [B] if I [Dbm] ever have [G] a band,
I'm gonna make a song out of the rhythm
of the way that [Bb] lady walks.
_ [G] _ _ [N] _ And this song, this next song is that song.
Gentlemen. _
