The Real Thing

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
And it takes more than the Crewcuts 
        B
and Pat Boone
           E
to take me home

[Chorus]
           E                      
I want the real thing give me the 
A         E
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

     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                      
I want the real thing give me the 
A         E
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

Make it loud and make you proud
                  B
