Play something sweet

G F

1. Well, I tried to run my game, she said, "Man, that's the same

E Am

old thing I've heard before",

C G D Em B7

and I'm too tired to go for your show, again and again.

G F

And she started to explain, she said, "Man, I ain't sayin'

E Am

what you're playin' just can't make it,

C G D - Em - D

but I just can't take it anymore."

G D

Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow,

G F C

play somethin' I can sink my teeth in like Jello,

G

play something I can understand,

D G - C - G - D

play me some Brickyard Blues.

G D

Play somethin' sweet and make it funky,

G F C

just let me lay back and grin like a monkey,

G

play something I can understand,

D G - C - G - D

play me some Brickyard Blues.

G F

2. Well, I started to sweat, she said, "Don't get upset,

E Am

'cause you just might break a string,

C G D - Em - B7

and that won't do a thing for your show."

G F

So I said to myself, I said, "Self, do you see,

E Am

what is sailin' through my soul?"

C G D - Em - D

And I gotta have some more, don't ya know ? + CHORUS

D

It's enough to make it light the dark,

it's enough to make a bite just a bark.

It's enough to make a body move around,

D - D# D

it's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog.

G

Play somethin' sweet + rest of CHORUS as instrumental

G F

3. Well, I tried to run my game, she said, "Man, that's the same

And she started to explain, she said, "Man, I ain't sayin'
