The band didn't want to have a name.
When we went to the record company and they said,
what is this _ band going to be called?
And we said, the band.
We don't want any name.
It's what everybody called us in _ the neighborhood of Big Pink.
This house, Big Pink, it was like a clubhouse for us.
We would go there every day, hang around, play checkers,
throw around a football, and then we'd go down and play a little music.
[D] _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] _ I get off of this mountain, _ [D] you know where I want to go. _
_ [Am] _ Straight down [D] the Mississippi River [E] to the Gulf of [B] [F#] Mexico. _ _
_ [A] She taught me the antics, and [D] I said,
I _ want this. _ _
_ [Am] _ [E] She told me [Bm] just to come on [E] by,
if there's anything she could do.
[Bm] _ _
_ [A] I'm all grim or green,
and she'd send [D] me if I'd spring a leaf,
and she'd mend [E] me.
I don't have to speak,
she'd fix [F#m] me a cooper's dream,
[G] if I ever did see one.
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
[Am] Before their 1968 debut album,
the band [D] was better known as Bob Dylan's backup group.
Then [F] they went out on their [C] own,
and their innovative [D] music made them the first American [E] group
to appear on the cover of Time magazine.
[A] _ _
_ I was working my way,
but _ [D] I had on five to one. _
_ [Am] She didn't have to [D] win,
came around the [E] track,
showing us we had won.
[G] _
_ [A] I'm all grim or green,
and she'd send [D] me if I'd spring a leaf,
and she'd mend [E] me.
I don't have to speak,
she'd fix [F#m] me a cooper's dream,
[G] if I ever did see one.
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
[Gm] _ [A] I picked up all of my winnings,
and [D] I gave my little Betsy hags. _
_ [Am] _ She tore it [D] up and threw it in my [E] face,
just for a laugh. _ _ _
[B] [A] And there's one thing in the whole wide world
[D] I sure would like to see, _
_ [Am] that connected [D] a love of [E] mine
with the tuna in my teeth. _ _
