Chords for Valdy—A Rock and Roll Song—Livein London Ontario 2007-07-22

Mr.
Lighting Man, you can light them up, they're way better looking than I am. _ _ _
_ _ [N] This is marvelous.
34 years, eh? _
[D] That's amazing.
_ _ [D#m] _
That's like two 17-year-olds stacked on top.
_ _ [A] _
_ _ [A#] I'm not that good with [D] numbers.
I, in fact, feel like I am a_
I'm a dyslexic [Em] 16-year [A]-old, eh?
_ _ [D] Next year I'll be a [Em] dyslexic 26-year-old.
There we go.
[G] You got sound?
You happy? _ _ _
Here's a song that started my career [D] for me.
I was rejected by 5,000 people.
[A] And I've been cathartically sharing that rejection [D] now with audiences for _ approximately 34 years.
There you go. _ _ _ _
_ _ 36 to be true.
Came in the town [C] as a man of one mind
[G] _
But turned a song into a [D] heart of freedom and joy _ _
All the better was it [C] that I was presented
[G] As the kind of a singer [Dm] most folks could enjoy
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [A] As I climbed up the stair [C] to the stage that was there
_ [G] It was obvious something [D] was amiss and
_ I could go by the vibes, [C] they wouldn't be bribed
[G] They weren't in the mood to listen
[A] _
They [D] all know me, _ _ [C] a rock and roll song
[G] And don't [F#m] play me songs [Em] about freedom and [G] joy
[D] _ Play _ me [C] a rock and roll song
[Em] Or don't play [A] me no song at [D] _ all
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Well I got [D] up and played some songs about peace [C] and temperance _ _
[G] Some of the things I have come to [D] believe in
[B] _ _ [D] When I was through to [C] this chorus of boo
[G] Some text I [Em] wrote that God [A] is leaving
Now [D] someone _ play me [C] a rock and roll song
[G] I tied it to [F#m]
hair [Em] with your flower as [G] beads
_ [D] Play _ me [C] a rock and roll song
_ [Em] Or don't play me [A]
no [D] song at all
Well buddy if I play _ you [C] a rock and roll song
[G] How could it [F#] be fair if [Em] my head [A] isn't there
[D] So leave me to [C] you and your rock and roll songs
_ [Em] And make my [A]
way back towards the curtain of the sky again
[D] _ _ Play me [C] a rock and roll _ [G] song
Don't get [F#m] me music [Em] I don't wanna [G] hear
_ [D] _ Play _ me [C] a rock and roll [G] song
I should have stayed [F#m] at home with a [Bm] case of lonely [A] brood beer
_ Play _ _ _ [C] me a rock and roll song
Or [Em] don't play me no [A] song at _ all
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [N] _
