Randy Rogers Band – Ode To Ben Dorcy Loveys Song (Guitar)

A
Big Ben came in puffin' back in 1963

A
He knew Denver, Pyle, and Willie, Big John, The Duke, and me

D
We played every city on the land and on the sea

A
He helped me be just what I am and all I wanna be

E
He never played the guitar, he never played the flute

E                                 D               A
Had a heart as big as Texas and a country soul to boot

A
Ben always loved the ladies and his line was smooth as silk

A
His aphrodisiac was cornbread, ice cold buttermilk

D
Back then, I did some rollin' 'cause I was slow to learn

A
Big Ben was always standing by when I would crash and burn

E
When everything about me was scattered near and far

E                                D              A
He'd pack us up, sack us up, and load us in the car

D
You can find him in the hotels, in the bus, and in the car

A
You'll swear there's more than one Big Ben

A
And one more where you are

D
He's the talk around the campfires and the tale's gettin' mighty tall

A                                E               A
Big Ben's a living legend and he will outlive us all

A
Well, here's to all the roadies

A
You should know from which you came

A
All you young road warriors and keepers of the flame

A         D
There was one who walked before you

D
The one who blazed the trail

A
Here's to the good Ben Dorcy, the one that never failed

E
He could set 'em up, he could tune 'em up

E
Break down and drive the car

E                                D                    A
He did everything we couldn't do, we were busy being stars

D
You can find him in the hotels, in the bus, and in the car

A
You'll swear there's more than one Big Ben

A
And one more where you are

D
He's the talk around the campfires and the tale's gettin' mighty tall

A                                E               A
Big Ben's a living legend and he will outlive us all

A                                E               A
Big Ben's a living legend and he will outlive us all
