[A] You make a grown man [D] cry.
[A] You make a grown [D] man cry.
[A] You make a grown [D] man cry.
You spread out the oil, [Gb] the gasoline, I ride smooth.
She's a clean [D] machine.
It started up.
You're gonna start [G] again, that's all you got.
[D] I can't compete with the [G] riders in the other heat.
You [D] can rough it up.
If you like it, you can [G] slide it up.
I said slide it up.
You [D] got a grown man cry.
[A] You make a grown man [D] cry.
[A] Don't make a grown man cry.
My eyes dilate, my lips [Gb] go green, my hands are greasy.
[B] She's a mean [G] machine.
[D]

[Gm] You make a dead man cum.

[D] Bye.
I'm sitting here with [Eb] the folksman, [G] Alan Barrows.
Good to have you here.
Jerry [Gm] Palter.
Marta [Gb] Shub.
Very nice to have you here, Marta.
[Bb] Yes.
[G]
[C] I love the song, I love the song Start Me Up.
That's a very [E] original rendition of [F] that song.
That's not our song, that's [Cm] a cover.
Yeah.
Is it [Ab] really?
Yes, I think I was aware of that.
I believe that's a Rolling Stones song.
Yes, that's correct.
We [B] like to raid the top ten occasionally.
[D] We were actually going to [C] do Funky Kingston originally [G] tonight, but the band beat us to it.
Right.
[A] So many pop songs come out of folk music, and we thought, why don't we just take a [Bb] folk song, make a pop [C] song into a folk [D] song, and turn it, [Ab] you know, vice versa.
Have [E] you [G] heard from the Rolling Stones at all?
Have [Bb] you heard from them?
[B]
I'm [A] in a silence, I think you're calling.
No, but you know, Jimi Hendrix, all that stuff is folk music.
Sure.
Is it really?
[G] Yeah.
It's all folk music?
Sure, sure.
Wow.
[Gbm] Yeah.
Now that amazing electric version of Star Spangled Banner, [Bb] that's Sure.
[Gbm] Nobody knows who wrote that, right?
No.
Yeah.
[C] [D] Purple Haze.
Yeah, [C] folk music.
[Eb] Folk music.
It was originally called Old [Fm] Purple Haze.
Old Purple [Ab] Haze, really?
[Bb] This is incredible.
I don't think a [Db] lot of young people out there know this stuff.
No, it's just back a hundred years or more. Really?
[Ab] Oh, sure.
Wow, incredible.
[B] I'm going to have to think about that.
I'm going to go back and listen to [G] that song again.
It makes you want to revisit [Db] that material.
Well, good, good.
Do you believe that folk music is ready to catch on again?
I don't [A] think it ever went away.
[Bb] No.
It's kind of like the [C] gum under [Bb] your shoe, you know?
It's always kind of there.
It's always part of you.
[C] Every step [Bb] you take.
You know, because some of [G] us really felt like it went [C] away, you know?
And [Ab] I don't mean to contradict you.
[Db] We felt [Eb] like you went away. [D] Oh, wow.
[Eb] There, that's Wow.
[B] [Bb] Marta, Marta, I didn't realize you [E] really went
I actually knew personally.
Oh, [Ab] me personally.
I met many of you.
[B] Oh, many.
Oh, I see.
Very nice.
She's pretty sharp.
[G] You don't want to mess with her.
I heard, before the show, I heard, watch out [E] for Marta.
[Fm] Marta can deal, you know, the knife right between the ribs.
Silver dagger.
[G] It was an incredible pleasure [A] having you here [Fm] on the show.
There's a DVD [D] out of the movie that featured your amazing [E] performances.
A Mighty Wind is going to be in stores on [Bb]
Tuesday.
So watch for that.
I do [Db] want to thank my guests.
The Folksman, [D] thank you very much for being here.
[F]
[D] [B] [Eb]
And also, I'd also like [Ab] to thank Michael Rapaport for being here.
And [B] best of luck with your new family, Michael.
[F] Big thanks to Christina Ricci for being here.
And of [Db] course, the incomparable Jimmy Bivino and [B] the Max Weinberg.
[A] Saturday, November last, call with Garth and Daly.
Goodbye.
