Wiz Jones, my friend, Wiz didn't seem to get as big as everybody.
He has led a kind of
wispy life.
He has come and gone.
I've seen him since the 60s come and go very wispily.
He's been a great favourite of mine for years.
All I'm doing is doing what I want to do.
I'm only interested in playing the guitar and travelling.
Wiz Jones, he's an excellent player and so underrated.
His songwriting, his guitar playing.
I mean he should be a superstar, but he just isn't.

That's how, and Muddy Waters, you know, that's how I kind of got to it.

[E] We're just young lovers and happiness was free.
[G#m] Wizzy's roots are almost identical to my own.
I think you can trace [E] it back to Big Bill Broomsley [F#m] basically.
Remember [F#m] all the people, [G#m] every time I see Wiz play, he's knocked me out.
[E] Remember all the songs we used to sing.
[F#m] [D] The nights that we [F#m] spent hungry [B] in fields beneath the [F#m] sky.
