Real Thing

G                C
I’m sitting on a sidewalk in Boone
G                   C
I ain’t got nothing better to do
G             C
Mr. S sings a song or two
            D         C G D
and “That’s Amore”
C                            G
We rolled and rallied here a time or two
C                        G
Probably end up downtown before we’re through
Am      C                 N.C.
You got coke, you got the real thing

Chastain, Atlanta, GA
G                 C
I went to see the Allman Brothers play
G              C
I didn’t leave quite the same way
            D                     C G D
Cause I was smokin’ in a blaze of glory
          C                           G
Well they rolled up a number and they sent it my way
  C                        G
I sure do love to hear the Brothers play
Am       C                  N.C.
You hear that, you hear the real thing

[Verse 3]
G                          C
I guess an island drunk is all I am
G                                C
I been sitting at the bar mixing black and tans
G                        C
I can’t say much for the shape I’m in
        D                      C G D
I ain’t drunk, I’m just drinking
        C                 G
You can ride so high on a planeload of fools
C                        G
And one day son, you run out of fuel
Am           C                      N.C.
When you hit ground, son that’s the real thing

[Outro]
        C                 G
You can ride so high on a planeload of fools
C                        G
And one day son, you run out of fuel
Am           C                      N.C.
When you hit ground, son that’s the real thing
