[C] Would you like to ride, [Cm] son?

Well, I sat down in the front seat.
[Eb] They turned on the radio, [F] and them sad old songs coming out of them [C] speakers was solid contra-gold.
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost-white [Eb]-tailed when he asked me for a light, [F] and I knew there
was something strange [C] about this ride.

Have you paid your dues?
Can you moan the blues?
[G] Can you bend down guitar strings?
