This is my first posting. I hope it helps others out there who have been looking
for the chords to this song. I’m doing it from the song I remember in my head. I believe it’s pretty close. The funky stuff at the end I am working on and will post when I figure it all out. Let me know if any changes are needed
G Em Am D
Slipping away what can I say
G Em C Cmaj7 Am
Won’t you stay inside me month of May
G Em Am A5 D G
And hold on to me golden day, slippin’ away
C/Cmaj Am A5 D
Sunshine on my wall
G Em Am D/G
to keep my mind on the things I’m saying
C/Cmaj Am A5 D G Em C Am
Footsteps in the hall to tell me I’ve been this way before
D
nevermore
{Second Verse}
G Em Am D
Let it rain sweet Mary-Jane
G Em C Am
Let it wash your love down all around me
G Em C D G
Come inside and put it down. Let it rain
G F C D G
I’ve been trying hard to find a way to let you know
G C F C F C G C/G
That we can make it shine most all the time
G F C D G
This time ’round I’m searching down to where I used to go
G C F C F C G C/G
And it’s been on my mind to make it shine
C Bb F G
You can say I want to be free
Bb F G
I can say some day I will be
{Get Funky. R&B type strum. Think James Brown}
G7
When I catch a common cold
I want to hear a saxophone
When I let the good times roll
Slide me a bass trombone
G7 Bb
Walk me down old funky street
C Eb
Lord knows I feel good enough to eat
G7 A Bb C7
Hold my soul. I sure am fond of my rock and roll
When I go to sleep at night
I want to hear a slide guitar
When I’m feeling loose and right
Riding in my automobile
Boney Maroney and Peggy Sue
Rocking pneumonia and boogey-woogey flu
Hold my soul. I’m sure enough fond of my rock and roll
Good God
«When the fox is chasing your sleigh;
toss him a raisin cookie…but don’t stop to bake a cake.»
(From the tv series «Banechek» starring James Prepard)
