_ _ [C] _ _ For the first [Bb]
year that we were on the [Am] road with Michael,
people in the [Fm] audience would still yell,
[D] where is Tommy Johnston?
_ _ [Bb] And rightfully so.
I mean, Tommy is a really [Fm] talented vocalist and songwriter
and [D] guitar player and his own writer.
_ _ But it wasn't too long after that that _ _ [G]
Michael's voice
and his piano style caught on, and that's all you heard
for a couple years on everybody's records.
I don't [D] think we had any idea _ _ _
[G] that his input would be
_ _ that great at the time.
_ [Dm] I don't even think Michael knew that he'd [D] have that much influence on the band.
Take it into the streets was the album that we were working on at that time,
_ [Gm] and that was [D]
a major transition for the band sound-wise.
It all happened [Gm] so fast, [G] and, _ _ you know, I think I was expecting
at [Eb] any time to be laid off, you know, but _ [C] _ through the encouragement
of [G] Tyran and Teddy and Pat, _ I just kind of, _ [D] _ _ _ like I said,
got more and [Eb] more ingrained in the band and part of the writing
and the [G] arranging of the band.
Well, that was a great record for us, for the band.
Michael was beginning to _ really be a creative force in the band.
[Bb] He really, I think he [G] took the doobies to another level.
[D] _ _ _ _ _ It keeps [G] you running.
It keeps you running.
Yeah, it keeps you running.
[B] Oh, [E] yeah.
It keeps you running.
[Bm] _ Yeah, _ it keeps [G] you running.
Darling.
[D] _
It keeps you running.
Yeah, it keeps [C] you running.
Oh, [E] no, no, no.
It keeps you [Em] running.
[E]
Yeah, _ it keeps you running. _
[D] Take it into the streets was just like a [Bb] dream come true.
I got to play [Cm] with a [D] really great band, _ [Db] a popular [Eb] band,
_ [Dm] record my own material.
[Db] I thought I died [D] and went to heaven.
[Gm] _ _ _
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _ What [Gm] would you keep me [Em] to _ yourself?
[Ab] _
Girl, you know it's [G] not _ _ fair.
_ _ _ _ Darling, are [Gm] _ _ _ you going to wear _ _ _ [C] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [Gm] _ _ [C] us for [G] your whole life?
[Gm] _ I was living in Boulder, Colorado, [G] and one of our friends
was [A] a guy named [C] Marty Wolf, _ who was the Doobie Brothers lighting [Bbm] designer.
Marty [A] asked me if I might want to go on the road _ as a [G] lighting roadie,
you know, [Bb] humping cable.
[Ab]
[G] And I said, okay.
_ During like sound checks and stuff, I would [Em] play.
If the band wasn't there, I'd play [Gb] congas.
But anyway, at one point, Patrick said,
how would [G] you like to play on our next [B] record,
which was taken to the [Dbm] streets.
Oh, [B] _ [Em] come on.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [D] It keeps you running.
It keeps you running.
