Well, let me get back to this thing with [Ab] that,

35 [C]% of them.
35% of [Bbm] them.
[N] You know, so three or [Ab] four guys in a typical band.
[G] But you're sort of.
Is mad at us.
You're using.
They're coming [E] in and they're coming into the gig now and now they've got to play all [Ab] our songs,
because that's what you hired them for, right?
When we find the guys that are playing that are mad at you,
we try to play your music between the sets to get them even more [C] pissed off.

That's what we think.
[Db] That's why they're mad at us.
