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.
[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.
