I make mistakes.
that's why I'm not a professional
Got a New Idea to work with.
Ten percent of musicians make enough money to live on, right?
What about the other 90%? I think they'd love an outlet for playing and I have the best forum for being inclusive of as many instruments as possible.
All percussion is welcome on all songs.
Just stick to the beat and any particular dynamics that are BEING UTILIZED FOR THAT PARTICULAR SONG. The Beat is the Remedy. Here is the current playlist.

This is a prototype musical configuration that can be used anywhere in the world to bring communities back together through music. Music is what many feel is the best healer.
Basically, I'm trying to stick with American music to preserve the good songs and forgotten album cuts, or songs never heard. And you do you. One important thing about this system is that one person in the group knows all the songs completely. Or has the proper prompt nearby. Give old, tired songs a beat treatment with beginnings and endings.
Our folk tales for future generations.
I’ve been a guitar hobbyist for 40 years, playing songs I like. A chair, a music stand and the Blue Oyster Cult songbook. Scanning through 50 music books but never memorizing any songs in order to perform.
Just playing along with the record. The fun was catching the groove. Steely Dan, Black Sabbath. Gordon Lightfoot, Joni Mitchell. I love to study a songs structure like "The Hissing of Summer Lawns," but I loathe to perform or deal with big egos in a band, so I considered myself a hobbyist. These songs with dozens of chords and difficult passages were difficult to memorize.
However I’ve spent the last 5/6 years finding simpler songs for my old fingers to play. Songs I can memorize and start a band with. So ... you're invited. The Arthuritis has taken its toll as it has for many other aging musicians, and so I want to make one last effort. I use a lot of "fifths". Root and Fifth. Sounds like Rockabilly or Metal. They call them power chords.
I make too many mistakes and could never play fast enough to be a professional, and, worst of all, I’m fussy about what I want to play, so I am not a good candidate for a band. (Though I could play the Bass for pay). Got a one owner Acoustic 371 and I'm looking for a semi-hollow base with a small fretboard.
EVERYONE INSISTS I HAVE TO PLAY WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR.
No thank you. Not a trained monkey and I'm going to do what I can while I still can.
So here is the crux of the Bisquit. It’s said that 10% of musicians make a living at it. The big question is this: what are the other 90% doing? I'm thinking, many people would like to have a community combo that they can participate in, when they want to.
This is what this is. Tightly managed to avoid the inevitable disagreements, but freedom to come and go as you want, so no one feels pressured or obligated. The BEATRX MUSICAL SYSTEM allows for maximum musical expression amongst a community, and freedom for musicians.
All percussion is welcome but please, remember the beat is the remedy. This is not a comfort zone for Boomers. Neither is it a safe space where the maudlin sentimentality of Pop music is glorified. I'm trying to revive songs that had a lame ass beat back in the day or re-invent some really good songs that are sounding outdated. Studiously avoiding the same old same old we've heard on the radio for decades.
You got a Ukelele club Then surely a Rockabilly Club can be created. You got a song to suggest? First ask yourself ‘have I already heard this 10,000 times on the radio?’ Then, “can I teach others to play it?" No one wants homework and our underlying theme is NO CLICHES.
Not practicing for a performance but simply making music. We can have a general assembly to vote in songs to add. Songs in the on deck circle are listed further down.
In the BEATRX musical system one person knows all the songs. Songs have a beginning and end. Instrumental solo verses are real easy to add for anyone that shows up to jam. Bring something to the table.
My particular concept aside from song selection is the songs stay in the order I have listed for a concept that needs to be tested. Instead of randomly jumping around to different keys, as per the usual, the songs progress in an ascending order of keys. The first song is in Em and the next is in E, then songs in the keys of F then G are next. Then the next song starts in Ab ends in A.
I might say that this is a Rockabilly Club
but not in the cliched way. This is where Rockabilly meets Americana, that meets
folk/metal music and the boogie woogie beat. Back to when Rockabilly became
rock and roll. Rockabilly Visionquest.
We’re not talking clothes fetish either. You can be rockabilly without the Halloween costume, you know what I mean?
The Beatles used many influences from around the world, but at their core, they were Rockabilly. The Beatles didn’t do too many covers, but more than half of them were rockabilly songs. “Honey Don’t” “Roll Over Beethoven” et al. Second generation rockabilly, the Beatles stretched the boundaries of what rock and roll could be. They yearned to jam with Carl Perkins, not Sophie Tucker.
The IconOclastics. BeatRX. BEATRX
THE BEATRX MUSICAL SYSTEM.
So let’s have a go at it. Here are the first ten songs.
1
2 E Don’t Look Now bpm 128
3 F Rockabilly Hall of Fame 130
4 G Mother of a Miners Child 138
5 G Jenny Are You Gay? 110 rockabilly
6 Ab to A HEY LITTLE COBRA 90 train?
7 C New York is a Lonely Town Trade Winds
8 D I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU VOLBEAT VERSION
9 E Blue Boat Home 6/8
10 F I KNOW YOU Dave Clark 5
I had to switch out my first song. I wanted to start out with Blue Boat Home. A Unitarian Universalists theme song. They don't discriminate any faith, and this song is easily embraced by spiritual seekers. But the 6/8 beat still needs practice and I can't seem to memorize enough of the lyrics. So I made Drinkin' Gasoline as the first song so I don't stumble out of the gate.
I did want to introduce this idea at the UU Church first. A community band? If there is a Ukelele Club, surely there can be a Rockabilly Club so people can rock and roll. SO that is honestly my intention. I want to try it at church first and we could make Blue Boat Home the opening number with a little luck. And remember. we would be making music, not preparing for a performance, yet also not unorganized jam sessions. I was thinking the last Wednesday of the month at 2:30 and we need to be gone by 4:00. I try to have my short weeks work done by then.
The second song is DONT LOOK NOW by Creedence and talks about people who talk the talk, but don’t walk the walk.
#3 Rockabilly Hall of Fame is such a fun song, but the actual Rockabilly Hall of Fame in Memphis kept deleting it when I posted it on their facebook page. Plus, I think the RHOF may also be racists with their exclusion of black people. Excuse me here is the first rock and roll song.
Maybe we'uns pay them a visit and see what's up. Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry not in the RHOF?
#4 Mother of A Miners Child is a stark reality of how some people live.
#5 Jenny Are You Gay? Recalling the fifties, this song was originally “Johnny Are You Gay” but
it was gender fluid enough to work when I switched the gender from Johnny to Jenny. This song is about young people getting married to get out of their
childhood homes. “My ma is a naggy parent, Jenny, won’t you set me free?”
#6 Hey Little Cobra Car racing song with dramatic key change
#7 Trade Winds the last surf song to reach the top ten in 1965
#8 Volbeat old Dusty Springfield song they fixed
#9 BLUE BOAT HOME Unitarian Universalist fave
#10 Dave Clark five I KNow you as surf song
HERE I POST AS MUCH OF THE LYRICS THAT I NEED TO HELP MY MEMORY
theoretically I should be able to just use my phone to play
1 1 Well I'm driving down the road in my Cadillac Travelling lies me by a road turning black
Drinking gasoline is a whole lotta do Drinking gasoline to get over you
We were doing swell with a short way to hell on the hill
2 Well I met you in the desert at Sabriskey point
3 Well I drove ten thousand miles away from home
See no trap in jail, but ain't no desert spawn (solo)
4 Engine started smoking and wings on fire
Big wheels started shaking and I lost a tyre my baby she exoploded drinkin gasoline
repeat 1
2 DON’T LOOK NOW dual note pattern
1 who’ll take the coal from the mine, who'll take the salt from the earth, who'll take a leaf 2 who’ll work the field who'll put his back to the plough who'll take the mountain and give DON’T LOOK NOW IT AIN'T YOU OR ME 3 dual note pattern and my solo in A
DONT LOOK NOW SOMEONES DONE YOUR STARVIN’) DLN someones done your prayin too
solos repeat chorus repeat don’t look now
5 who'll make the shoes for your feet? who'll make the clothes you wear? who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep don't look now it aint you or me
DONT LOOK NOW SOMEONES DONE YOUR STARVIN’) DLN someones done your prayin too 5 Solo 6 who’ll take the coal from the mine who'll take the salt from the earth? Who'll take the promise that you don't have to keep?
3 F SIMPLE 130 ROCKABILLY
HALL OF FAME B side Band. The Rockabilly Hall of Fame has
yet to embrace this song. I give it a more danceable beat
1 found ourselves this cool won't

ball Johnny Cash and Elvis too ,,....... link rays rockin didnt stop 3 Marty Robbins made us dance Elvis
put us in a trance that night won't forget the sights we saw all
those rockers yelled for more
4
G MOTHER
OF A MINERS CHILD GORDON LIGHTFOOT very nice song. I give it a
harsh beat which brings out the lyrics better, I think. 138
1 she is my flower (waits for me beside the
kitchen door) 2 She is my light (wash away the coal dust from my face)
3 SOLO 4 When the night
shifts done (and the promise I made to carry on)
verse 5 sometimes I smile in the cage where the
cables softly hum I'd curse that old straw boss to the bone but the mother of a
miners child is waiting for her paycheck to come home come saturday (he is just
a miners boy, I hope that he will find a better way
6 repeat 1
5 1 Jenny, are you gay? You're so good looking But something's in the way When I look in your eyes Oh, Jenny you mean so much to me I've waited so long for you to set me free And so I ask myself each day
2 Jenny, are you
gay? You've got a real cool shirt, yeah It's tight black satin Not like the
other girls, now
They all wear plaid
and corduroy I really like your style i wanna be your boy So I ask
myself each day, Jenny, are you gay?
(Bm)Shopping malls and station
wagons Ain't a lot for a guy like me
My ma was a naggy
parent,So Jenny, won't you set me
free
Take a look into my eyes,
there's lots of love for you
Tell me now, is it wrong To
want to get more from you?
3 Jenny, are you
gay?
I didn't see you at the
ballgame I heard you gone shopping
Just you and Chesty Morgan All
I want is to be close to you
C'mon, give it a try, I know
you'll like it too And so I ask myself each day...
SOLO SOLO SOLO
SOLOSHOPPING MALLS AND STATION WAGONS
4 Jenny, are you gay? I
saw you dancin' techno The way you move to the beat It’s supernatural
Oh, Jenny, you mean so much to
meI've waited so long for you to set me free
An so I ask myself
each day, Jenny, are you gay
Fiddle Bango Harp Beatbox xylophone or whatever. It’s about creating a community band. Lots of space for different people to solo
This is what I'm talking about.
Connecting in a simple way with people and creating a better grade of performance because of the eschewing (to spit out in disgust) of overplayed pop music. We need to get live music out to more places than just beer drinking activities and bars. This is a rich new field to plow. Plenty of people out there practicing their instrument or improving their voice that would want to give it a try.
Let's bring back songs that have stood the test of time; good songs that didn’t get the airplay they deserved. Truthfully the repetition on the radio has lulled Americans to sleep. Many have nuanced their playlists with various pay services, of course, but those people are generally looking for new songs too, and new musicians to groove on and add to their playlist. Though probably many listen to the baneful wail and thump of todays commercial hits.
Radio is too busy trying to make a profit and playing the songs THEY think you want to hear. People have not heard some of these songs for over 50 years and it will fire up some neurons, you'll see.
"Hey Little Cobra" was one of the first 45’s I purchased in 1960-something.
6 Ab to A HEY LITTLE COBRA 1963 140 simple The Rip Chords. Great key change third verse do a Bluegrass version with solos after first verse
I took my Cobra 2 when the flag went down 3 around the far turn in the straightaway
7 C New York is a lonely town Trade Winds The last surf song to reach the top ten. 1965 130 simp 138 SEEMS BETTER but keep it slow, not sped up in any way and I have yet to figure out the instrumental break.
1 my folks moved to New York 2 from central park to Pasadena’s such a long way
8 D I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH YOU 120 GROOVE BEAT keep it slow like volbeat does it live.
I don't know what it is that makes me love you so I only knew I never want to let you go
You started something, can't you see? And ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true I only wanna be with you
INTRO PATTERN
[Verse 2]It doesn't really matter what you say or do I want to spend each moment, any day with you
Look what has happened with just one kiss I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true I only wanna be with you
[Bridge] You stopped and smiled at me And asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms And I didn't stand a chance
[Verse 3}SOLO
VERSE 4 I don't know what it is that makes me love you so I only knew I never want to let you go
You started something, can't you see? And ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
It happens to be true I only wanna be with you
[Bridge]
You stopped and smiled at me And asked me if I cared to dance
I fell into your open arms And I didn't stand a chance
[Verse 5] Now, listen honey I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
Cause you started something, can't you see? Ever since we met, you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do I only wanna be with you
No matter, no matter what you do

Drone on the E note
6/8 TIME BRO
1 Though below me, I feel no motion Standing on these mountains and plains
Far away from the rolling ocean Still my dry land heart can say
I’ve been sailing all my life now Never harbor or port have I known
The wide universe is the ocean I travel And the Earth is my blue boat home
SOLO VERSE
2 Sun my sail and moon my rudder As I ply the starry sea, Leaning over the edge in wonder, Casting questions into the deep.
Drifting here with my ship’s companions,
All we kindred pilgrim souls,
Making our way by the lights of the heavens
In our beautiful blue boat home
SOLO VERSE
3 I give thanks to the waves upholding me
Hail the great winds urging me on,
Greet the infinite sea before me,
Sing the sky my sailor’s song:
I was born upon the fathoms,
Never harbor or port have I known.
The wide universe is the ocean I travel,
And the Earth is my blue boat home.
10 I KNOW YOU Dave Clark 5 British invasion inspired by rockabilly and I use surf beat 140 1 I know you don’t 2 I’m a fool believe me
ROCK AND ROLL IS YOUR LEGACY, NOT THE CONFEDERACY.

G C Am D
Amber called her uncle, said "We're up here for the holiday, D
Jane and I were having Solstice, now we need a place to stay."
And her Christ-loving uncle watched his wife hang Mary on a tree,
Em C Am D D
He watched his son hang candy canes all made with red dye number three.
He told his niece, "It's Christmas Eve, I know our life is not your style, D D
She said, "Christmas is like Solstice, and we miss you and it's been awhile,"
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table, Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
Em C Am D
And just before the meal was served, hands were held and prayers were said,
Em C Am D G
Sending hope for peace on earth to all their gods and goddesses.
G C Am D
The food was great, the tree plugged in, the meal had gone without a hitch,
Till Timmy turned to Amber and said, "Is it true that you're a witch?"
His mom jumped up and said, "The pies are burning," and she hit the kitchen,
Em C Am D D
And it was Jane who spoke, she said, "It's true, your cousin's not a Christian,"
G C Am D
"But we love trees, we love the snow, the friends we have, the world we share,
G C Am D D
And you find magic from your God, and we find magic everywhere."
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,
Em C Am D
And where does magic come from? I think magic's in the learning,
Em C Am D G
'Cause now when the Christians sit with Pagans only pumpkin pies are burning.
When Amber tried to do the dishes, her ant said, "Really, no, don't bother. C Am D D
Amber's uncle saw how Amber looked like Tim and like her father.
He thought about his brother, how they hadn't spoken in a year,
Em C Am D D
He thought he'd call him up and say, "It's Christmas and your daughter's here."
G C Am D
He thought of fathers, sons and brothers, saw his own son tug his sleeve, saying,
G C Am D D
"Can I be a Pagan?" Dad said, "We'll discuss it when they leave."
So the Christians and the Pagans sat together at the table,
Finding faith and common ground the best that they were able,Em C Am D
Lighting trees in darkness, learning new ways from the old, and
Em C Am D G
Making sense of history and drawing warmth out of the cold.

There is freedom within, there is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead, many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win
2 Now I'm towing my car, there's a hole in the roof My possessions are causing me suspicion but there's no proof
In the paper today tales of war and of waste But you turn right over to the T.V. page
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us We know they won't win
3 Now I'm walking again to the beat of a drum And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead barely clearing the roof Get to know the feeling of liberation and release
Hey now, hey now Don't dream it's over Hey now, hey now When the world comes in They come, they come To build a wall between us Don't ever let them win Songwriters: Neil Finn

Just the product of the incest From my sister and my Pa And I keep them engine car parts On my front yard all year long Not that you can see 'em Since my lawn's so overgrown Callin' all you white-trash skanks In Confederate Country Get your hands off my man, bitch!
Or you got to deal with me! Cuz I'm tough Hell Yeah! (Hell Yeah!)
2] It's ain't no secret That my stuff's real prime Get ma number offa that bathroom stall Call me for a good time
That's a real number wrote it myself So I's can find a good man No, there's no such thing as a Sothern fag 'Cuz they've all dug my clam
You might think I'm nasty And you might call me poor But in my mind and in my heart (Offscreen): You're just a backwoods whore! Hey!
I'm a redneck woman And you stay off my land My Grampy stole it fair and square From that American Injun Stan And my family's been residing here For over a hundred years And we don't want our country filled with Immigrants and queers So here to all out here screamin' loud" The South will rise again" Let me get a big hell yeah From a southern minute man Hell Yeah! (Hell Yeah!)
[Verse 3] So I'm a redneck woman that's all I am Proud to be from the USA The place that brought you spam
And I go to church on Sundays Cuz I'm a god-fearin woman The preacher uses all big words
That I don't understand So here's to all the people That never cross that county line
Let's stay home in our shit towns Until the end of time Hell Yeah! (Hell Yeah!)

What we could do is play fund raising, non-profit, non-alcohol events for free. A way to find other musicians. Maybe a way to get paid gigsI Any money we can make at the UU we'd give 25%.
Also I see spin offs where members get together to do their particular favorite songs with other members. A way to find your tribe. Maybe you like Leonard Cohen or some other cult singer. I surely don't.
The Bigger the better. The idea is if enough people are playing, no one hears mistakes other musicians might make. lol. We all cover for each other. It's a good gag when a member of the audience comes up to sing or play harmonica
Many of the songs I do are easy to create instrumental verses like Bluegrass. Do a verse, tear off a fiddle solo. Do another verse then a harmonica solo. Any goddam thing, ya know?
We need a jolt. A new American music is emerging. Americana, Hick-hop, crossover country, Black Metal Lounge Music. And it's going to cpome out of the south where rocak and roll began. From thee the river flows. The scene is changing as we find out how corrupt the music industry has been.
Musicians not making money with the Streaming Pyramid Scheme. People looking for a new start and it's 1953 again and Hillbilly music was finally gettin' played on the radio.
Hillbilly music and boogie woogie created rockabilly in the late 40’s. The rowdy demographic of both races created a magical musical hybrid and this is what I feel is happening again. But anything 'billy' was denigrated as years went by. Hollywood (city slicker Libruls) lambasted the Hillbillies who became national objects of derision. No one wanted to be associated with those low-class Jays. So, it became known as rock and roll instead of Rockabilly. This is the Rockabilly Club Peace.
Easier to remember songs, but also for guitar players: we
need people who aren’t scared of a F#m7 or Am7b5. I recall my uncle Gamielle
who knew 500 songs on the piano. All in the key of C. Every hackneyed,
overplayed, Chesnut from 1930 to 1970. He was difficult to listen to.
Very importantly we want to create momentum and energy and
save good songs from obscurity. The momentum is derived from the sequencing of
songs. Starting in E, the second song is also in E. The next song is in F and the
next in G. Then a car racing song that goes from Ab to A for a dramatic effect. Then a song in the Key of C then one in D. Then “Drinkin' Gasoline” in Em and we
repeat the process.
Here are the next five songs as we dig into Americana. You know, surfing, car racing. With just enough lyrics in case I forget them. The key for the community band is someone needs to know every song.
Radio is too busy trying to make a profit and playing the songs THEY think you want to hear. People have not heard some of these songs for over 50 years and it will fire up some neurons, you'll see.
BEATRX
Rock and Roll is our
American legacy, not the Confederacy. Guns guns guns! Lay down the sword and
pick up a traditional instrument. What the fuck is wrong with you guys? We can agree on music, so
we can agree on other things.
So please, let’s not do popular songs from the radio. Remember the archivist bit. Bring something to the table. So many artists and music, there is always something new to find.
Regarding todays music, you honestly couldn't pay me to go to an Abba concert, never mind a cover band doing the suzie cream cheese drivel of Abba. Go to any free events around here and be subjected to classic rock. Waiting for my boy to get out of work at Hirams and I hear the same old AC/DC, Def Leppard type of stuff. Formulaic to a fault.
People will take a look at the song list that we can pass out and they see a song to try and sing or solo on, where BEATRX is playing live. And also, people can tell where they are on the list. “3 more songs and I’m singing “Call Me the Breeze.””
I have made lots of room for bluegrass type of verse solo, verse solo. Harmonica would probably work on a lot of songs as would fiddle solos.
I’m enthusiastic about the Beat Box replacing a drum set. Takes up so little space and adds a nice bottom to the music. Many Rockabilly drummers have or had very small drum kits that they stand up with. This takes up much less space and is another alternative to the massive set up for most drums.
Any musician can come up and play if they know the song and I would make a playlist available for people to peruse. Karaoke with live music. But not the same old same old songs we’ve heard thousands of times.
I picked up a bass and realized I still prefer bass playing. Seems easier on the fingers. I have an Acoustic 371 for a bass player to use. I’m seeing drums, guitar and bass as the core while trying to bridge rockabilly and metal. On simple karaoke machines or 30 watt Marshalls. Some of us make too many mistakes to be professionals, but we still need to play. Drum circle volume would be a way to put it. A Dankbilly Circle.
You got your F and C harmonicas and others. Check out which songs are in these keys. Just jump in. It’s a new concept to help rebuild communities. These are the songs I do and the ones I’m doing. Join me and note the keys of this songlist are constantly going higher. I am testing to see if this creates sone kind of positive momentum. C#m, D , Em etc
Am I looking for applause? No. Looking to do traditional gigs playing “songs people like”? No. Not at all. We have to get away from this giant comfort zone of pop culture. I feel like a trained monkey the few times I've performed recently. It doesn’t seem natural for people who want to play and not perform. What sells isn’t what is good. What sells is easy, soft and sweet.
I see it as more playing at events and not in front of an audience. We want to make some authentic American music to preserve good songs, forgotten album cuts, or songs never heard. Give old, tired songs a beat treatment. We love when we play. Rockabilly was born in Appalachia and so was rock and roll and here it comes again.
ROCK AND ROLL IS YOUR LEGACY, NOT THE CONFEDERACY.

The worst thing about starting a band is everyone brings bits and pieces of songs they know. No one knows a complete song that they can show everyone else. Or they waste six months arguing about a band name and what musical direction to go in. And what their gimmick will be. Some people spend the first three practices figuring out what they can do together, and often find themselves incompatible.
Therefore, We want a big beat and we appeal to all sides. If we can agree on music, we can agree on other things. You’ll see what I mean.
Think of us also as Song Archivists for the huge demographic out there looking for something original and refreshing, not hackneyed and overplayed. We have 75 years of rock and roll to choose from but the songs on the radio have a very limited variety. No album cuts. So uncool. There are hundreds of good songs that need a modern update.
What I do here is take songs that are really good, that maybe had an insipid, uninspired beat back in the day, and I try to liven it up. Dance beats. Relatively simple chord structures making them easier to remember for musicians. On the other hand, not the same old, same old comfort zone of people dependent on a capo, or corny folkie stuff where every song has the same strummy strum rhythm and songs we've already heard thousands of times.
I’d rather know three different ways to play C#m7 than figure out where to put my capo in order to play an Am. (4th fret?) I don't remember any of my Jazz Guitar teachers using a capo. I remember jamming with lots of dudes who tried to learn slide guitar but can't recall anyone ever using a capo
. People seem to like songs filled with false hope and music for people who are scared to find out what’s outside the box. Songs everyone has overheard and heard and heard this last half-century.
You know, I just can’t handle the maudlin sentimentality of boomer pop music, so there is very little of that. All the breakup and falling in love pop HITS seems to have caused the plague of infidelity in this nation.

You don't get me high anymore
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
Used to take one
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
Now it's takes four
You don't get me high anymore
[Verse 2]
Am N.C.
Runnin' through emergency rooms
F Em
Spinning wheels and ceiling fans
Dm N.C.
My handshake, cellophane, landscape
Mannequin fakin' it the best that I can
Am N.C.
Cadillac, Cadillac red
F Em
No hands on the steering wheel
Dm N.C.
I'm crashing this save-a-ho puppet show
UFO obliterate the way I feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
Walk with me to the end
Am G
Stare with me into the abyss
Dm F
Do you feel like letting go?
Am N.C.
I wonder how far down it is
[Chorus]
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
Nothing is fun
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
Not like before
You don't get me high anymore
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
Used to take one
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
Now it's takes four
You don't get me high anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
(Heyo, heyo, heyo, heyo) You don't get me high anymore
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
(Heyo, heyo, heyo, heyo) You don't get me high anymore
[Interlude]
Dm F Am G
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm F
Walk with me to the end
Am G
Stare with me into the abyss
Dm F
Do you feel like letting go?
Am N.C.
I wonder how far down it is
[Chorus]
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
Nothing is fun
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
Not like before
You don't get me high anymore
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
Used to take one
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
Now it's takes four
You don't get me high anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
(Heyo, heyo, heyo, heyo) High anymore
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
(Heyo, heyo, heyo, heyo) You don't get me high anymore
Am G G/B F N.C. F Em
(Heyo, heyo, heyo, heyo) Get high anymore
Dm C C/E Am N.C.
(Heyo, heyo, heyo, heyo) You don't get me high anymore

G D
There's a lady who's sure
Em G7
All that glitters is gold
C Cm G Bb C D
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
G D
When she gets there she knows
Em G7
If the stores are all closed
C Cm G
With a word she can get what she came for, oooh
[Bridge]
Dm G C
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Am
Don't be alarmed now
Dm G C Am
It's just a spring clean for the May queen
Dm G C
Yes, there are two paths you can go by
Am
But in the long run
Dm G A
There's still time to change the road you're on
A7
Road you're on, road you’re on, oooh
[Verse]
G D
There's a sign on the wall
Em G7
But she wants to be sure
C Cm G7 Bb C D
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
G D
In a tree by the brook
Em G
There's a songbird who sings
C Cm G
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven, oooh
[Bridge]
Dm G C
Your head is humming and it won't go
Am
In case you don't know
Dm G C Am
The piper's calling you to join him
Dm G C
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow
Am
And did you know
Dm G G+
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind, aaah
[Coda]
C Bb G
G7 C Bb G
And as we wind on down the road (down the road)
G7 C Bb G
Our shadows taller than our soul (than our soul)
G7 C Bb G
There walks a lady we all know (we all know)
G7 C Bb G
Who shines white light and wants to show (wants to show)
G7 C Bb G
How everything still turns to gold (turns to gold)
G7 C Bb G
And if you listen very hard (very hard)
G7 C Bb G
The tune will come to you at last (you at last)
G7 C Bb G
When all are one and one is all (one is all)
G7 C Bb G
To be a rock and not to roll (not to roll)
[Outro]
G
Not to roll... not to roll...not to roll
