Chords for Who is R.L. Burnside?

_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Gm] And joining us right now is the legendary Mr.
R.L. Burnside.
I mean, we're just always kind of in awe of R.L.
[G] The records are fresh, they're not cliché, they're not what you expect.
They're exciting.
If you come to my house, don't think you know,
Where around you know that I'm from, well, Lord, I'm taking them on a trip.
_ _ [Em] _ _
Hell, where, where?
I like the blues.
And all the music started from the blues.
And the blues started from Mississippi.
People working down there.
You ain't got no money, you're hungry, you can't get no food, or your woman leave you,
Somebody [E] take you on, you got the [G] blues there.
Going [Em] downtown, I'm going downtown.
[Gm] Like, [E] see, I'm a [G] poor man, you know.
I never had nothing.
[E] See, my family's putting up with kids.
[Em] My neighbor had me.
_ [A] Be my baby, be my baby.
When I first started, nobody ever teach me nothing, but I sit [E] and watch people, you know.
I [Bb] do the mouth parts.
Oh, that [Gbm] was a good [G] time then.
You were getting into trouble out there?
[E] Get the dancing man, break the flow in, man.
_ See my jump along, take it out on the line.
_ [Em] Hypnotic, trance, [E] but then it's got a high energy too.
It's hard to describe, really.
It's that North Mississippi thing.
[Em] I got where I started trying to play, you know.
But it didn't [E] sound like I was going to never be no guitar player,
because there's nothing I tried to come out right.
See my jump along, take it [Em] out on the [B] line. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] I hate the guys, but I got a [G] pretty good relationship with them.
_ [B] This helped us.
We're selling records, you know, making a living playing music.
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ We started going out to the juke joint, and we'd sit up in the house and play until one o'clock.
At least one or two people came [E] every Sunday,
and we played just as hard with one or two people as we would if 150 or 200 people had to show up. _
Every time I see [Bb] them, [Gm] the music shows up.
[E] _
_ Overall, I think, press it.
There was like a real Delta Blues alive.
Then they wanted us to open for them, you know, and we went to open for them.
He gave me a package of earplugs, said, you're going to need these.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _
We're sitting up in the room [E] drinking and telling them old [G] stories,
and this one, he said, we should make an album out of that, man.
I said, no, ain't [E] nobody going to buy that, man. [Gm] Well! _
_ Well!
_ The two [Em] worlds collided and clashed, and yet also united.
_ _ _ Well, that [E] was a good moment. _
Yeah, that started more [Ebm] people coming to the show, got [Gb] me known out there.
I had never did nothing [F] like that in the public, you [Eb] know.
I'm going to ask you to welcome to the House of Blues, Mr.
R.L. [D] Burnside.
_ _ [Gm] _
Yeah!
Well, well, well.
[G] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ We got us to somehow take what we think are the important parts,
the spirit, the sound, the integrity of blues, and bring it into this century. _
[Bb] But it [D] worked.
I mean, you know, kids loved it.
It made R.L. relevant.
Tonight is a native of Hofford, Mississippi, and he's here tonight to bring a [Ab] song from his friendly [G] land.
Mr.
R.L. [E] Burnside.
I'm in favor of the GBA, I'm in favor.
_ _ [B] [E] Do you have any regrets?
[B] Anything you look back on that you wish you'd done [G] differently?
No, no.
[E] Everything's just as it should be?
Everything is going all right. _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, well, well.
