Chords

[Intro] E A E B E
           E
Well I was on a bus coming back to us

     A            E
from Atlanta in '53
And I picked up a rhythm and blues magazine layin'
B
underneath my seat

      E
And I found out the stuff they were playin' us

       A                   E
wasn't made from grits and bone

                                            B
And it takes more than the Crewcuts and Pat Boone

           E
to take me home
[Chorus]
           E                      A         E
I want the real thing give me the real thing
Make it loud and make you proud
                  B
of the songs they sing

                 E
I Don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof

        A                        E
Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
You're gonna pull my string
            B                E
make it the real thing for me
Solo: E B E
     E
I remember old Elvis when he forgot

      A             E
to remember to forget
And when young Johnny Cash hadn't seen this side of
B
big river yet

         E
And when sun was more than daylight shining on

A                E
Memphis, Tennessee

    E
And Luther and Lewis and Perkins was pickin'

    B                       E
and playin' them songs for me
[Chorus]
           E                      A         E
I want the real thing give me the real thing
Make it loud and make you proud
                  B
of the songs they sing

                 E
I Don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof

        A                        E
Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
You're gonna pull my string
            B                E
make it the real thing for me
[Solo] E A E B E A E B E [Chorus]
           E                      A         E
I want the real thing give me the real thing
Make it loud and make you proud
                  B
of the songs they sing

                 E
I Don't want you under my roof with your 86 proof

        A                        E
Watered down 'til it tastes like tea
You're gonna pull my string
            B                E
make it the real thing for me
You're gonna pull my string
            B                E
make it the real thing for me
