Chords for Zevon + Letterman = Funny

Warren Zivon filling in every night for two weeks because our good friend Paul
Schaefer as I mentioned is away in Canada making a like a Ghostbuster
movie or something?
Yeah working on a go_
no no no no not the Ghostbuster the
Blues Blues Brothers 2000 and Warren has been kind enough to figure out a
schedule whereby he could come in here and work with us just in case anything
happens to go screwy because it's a big job and this is not normally the kind of
gig you know Warren is accustomed to so to be doubly sure in the event that
something goes wrong we have a guy who kind of looks like Paul standing by is
he back there tonight?
Kinda looks like Paul on alcohol_ _ _ _ _
_ kind of_
just barely_
and if that isn't enough and believe me I believe it is we have a guy who kind of
looks like Warren standing by back there too right over there doesn't he?
