Intro
(hey Smooth Steve, where's my skinny boy decaffe latte no
foam?) Hi this is Smooth Steve from K-Jazz welcome to "Java the Hut."
Tonight we got a special guest a young man from… (where ya from?)
He's playin' a new song, here we go.
Thanks Smooth Steve. Hey this is a song about a book I read
once about the "so called" apparent evils of Rock and Roll. And I
wrote this little song about it. Uh, I guess I'd just like to thank,
uh, thank you all for commin' out and sing this song tonight. Here it
goes.
I'm sorry but your gonna have to listen to the song to get the
strumming pattern cuz I cant show you here.
MI MI SOL SOL
Once I read a book, and this is what it said,
LA LA MI MI
"If your music has a beat, then your gonna wind up dead.
MI SOL
It doesn't really matter if its Christian or not,
LA LA
If its syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot."
E(slide)A A(slide)E
And this book was called "AH YOUR GONNA BURN"
E(slide)A A(slide)E E(silence)E
And in the second chapter, I went on to learn.
MI SOL LA MI
Take two houseplants and put 'em to the test,
MI SOL LA MI
Set 'em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
MI SOL LA MI
The first one you play Mozart or somethin' lovely like that,
MI SOL LA MI
The second one you play that Petra and that Megadeath.
(quad. strum E)
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.
MI SOL LA MI
So I took my two houseplants and I presented them to the test.
MI SOL LA MI
Set 'em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
MI SOL LA MI
I powered up my Pioneers and let the music roar.
E G A E (quad. strum E)
But twenty minutes later someone's knocking at my door.
(thump your guitar if you have an acoustic)
MI MIE MI SOL
I opened up my door, and there my neighbour stood.
LA MI
He said, "Man I'd like to get some sleep; if ya really think I
could."
MI SOL LA
I said, "Man, can't you see here I got a moral dilemma that I have
MI
Gotta get clear."
MI SOL
He said, "What kinda moral dilemma could you have at this time of
LA MI
Night that would make me so angry that I just wanna fight?"
(here's a tip, save you a couplea bux, don't break anything just imagine
breaking something.)
MI SOL LA
Sorry, so I pointed to a page, in that open book, it had a picture of
MI
A potted plant and I said, "go have a look." And he read…
MI SOL LA MI
Take two house plants and put em' to the test,
MI SOL LA MI
Set em' both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
MI SOL LA MI
The first one you play Mozart or something lovely like that,
MI SOL LA MI
The second one you play that Petra and that Megadeath.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.
E-------------------------------------------------0-|This may sound
B------------------0----0---0---3----------2------0-|wrong or maybe
G-------1----1---1---0----0----------0---0---3-4--1-| be wrong but
D-2-2-2---2----2------------------0----0----------2-|that’s what it
A-------------------------------------------------2-|sounds like to
E-------------------------------------------------0-| me.
MI SOL LA
"First of all," he said, "that's Vogner that your playin', I've never
E E(silence)E
heard of Petra and isn't Megadeath all dead?"
MI SOL LA MI
And secondly and thatically he asked me what's the sense?
MI SOL LA
Of hangin' out with houseplants he said, "hey I live right across the
MI
fence."
And I thought to myself, you know that’s a good point.
MI SOL LA MI
So I took my two houseplants and I put em' both outside,
MI SOL LA MI
And me and my neighbour we went out for a drive.
MI SOL LA MI
We talked about all the things that really matter most.
MI SOL LA MI
Like life and love and happiness and then the Holy Ghost.
MI SOL LA MI
(Naaaaah Naaaaaah Naaaaah Naaaaah)
MI SOL LA MI
So now my two houseplants can sit out in the sun,
MI SOL LA MI
And as for my neighbour well our friendship has become,
MI SOL LA MI
A meaningful relationship that’s headed strait for heaven.
MI SOL LA
But as for now we like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline,
E E!E!E!E!E!E!E! (just play hard until you get tired
CRANKED TO ELEVEN!
Thanks a lot you guys thanks, you’re a wonderful audience. I'd like
to thank my band Audio Adrenaline for commin' up here, and drivin'
all night to back me up thanks. Oh and uh, don't forget to tip your
waiters and waitresses thanks.(E!)(hey Smooth Steve where's my skinny
boy decaffe latte no-foam?)
