[Bb] Here's where Sammy gets dressed.
Here's where I get dressed.
[D] That's where Alice gets home.
I get, I get, I get, I get, [F] I get dressed.
[N] Basically what we do before we go on in the tune-up room,
we all four just get together and just, just total goop, geek out, you know,
just to mentally prepare ourselves for what we're walking, [C] walking into.
[A] It is like one big goopy situation, you know.
Every time we get around each other, it turns into [Am] totally
Bo Seepus mode.
Yeah, we [B] hit Bo Seepus mode.
Yo, Bo Seepus hat!
Son of a sitch!
Oh man, this is great.
You gotta put one of these on, man.
It makes you have a completely different perspective on the way you look [N] at life.
Hank Williams Jr.'s.' nickname is Bo Seepus. And the man really knows how to party down, right? And so we kind of just go into Bo Seepus mode before a show, you know. Bo Seepus [Am] rules and rules [B] all! But I'm not talking [A] wild, disgusting acts of human behavior. [B] We just, we do get wild, we [Gbm] get crazy. Let me do my elephant for you, okay? [B] Ah, man. [Ab]
[B] Whoa, it's bigger. Then I gotta put my headset mic on. Make everything, everything. [Db] So that I can be the crazy mofo that I am. I'm a grown man, you know. That my brain never developed past like 15. Come on, Leonard. [F] Come on, come on back. [B] Where's he running to? Where's he going? Come on back, sir. We're adults that never grew up. We're [Ab] mature, mature male adults. [E] [N] I like my mom. When she's not home. When she's tight. Well, that's John. [Ab] John Ben-Gurrie. The [Gb] first leg of the tour, every night we played Addicted to Love about 45 times in a row. So finally, actually the last few shows, [G] we blew the speakers. [Am] [A]
[G]
[A] [C] [Am] Everybody's dancing and air guitaring and kicking around [Ab] and stretching and rocking and throwing stuff. And the next thing you know, somebody says, Let's go! And we go, yeah! [A] [F]
[Em]
[G] [Gb]
[A]
[N] It's got to be every night when I sit on stage. There's two, three minutes right before we go on. I always get chills a little bit. The most important thing to me is when you step on stage, you're live. [G] And if you blow it, it's your last chance. You leave town the next day and there's 15,000 people there saying they stunk. [N] [A] The moment you see the [E] audience and they're rooting and they're hollering and they're screaming and they're throwing beer cans all over the place and we're throwing them back. [Gb] All of a sudden, just your energy level increases a thousand fold. [E] [E] [Em]
