The Real Thing

>From the Album "The Real Thing" by Rodney Hayden Written by Chip Taylor Produced by: Tony Brown and Robert Earl Keen (awesome combo) This is a great song, and a great album. He does the song in "F", but I capo it at the first fret and play in E. The progression is the same all the way through E E I was on a bus coming back to us from Atlanta in 53' E B7 When I pulled out a rhythm and blues magazine laying underneath the seat EA E I found out the stuff they'd been playing us wasn't made from girts and bone EB7 E And it would take more than the crewcuts and Pat Boone to take me home Chorus: I want the Real Thing, Give me the Real Thing Make it loud and I'll make you proud of the songs they sing I don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof watered down till it tastes like tea You're gonna pull my string make it the Real Thing for me I remember old Elvis when he forgot to remember to forget And when young Johnny Cash hadn't seen this side of Big River yet And when Sun was more than daylight shining on Memphis Tennessee And Luther, and Lewis, and Perkins was picking and playing them songs for me Repeat Chorus (twice)
