The Man Behind The Drums

C                G          Am  
We left New York City, with 
          F
nothin' but a song,
C                          
she'll be coming' 'round the 
  G                 F
mountain when she comes.
C              G          Am    
We wound up in Woodstock, at an 
         F
old time jamboree,
C               G              Fss
came to see the man behind the 
drums.||


(Chorus)
C              F         C      
Levon digs the doghouse, playing
        F
 in The Band,
C                G       C      
when he locks in to that 
           D            F
backbeat it ain't hard to 
understand.
Continues after the ad
C             F       C         
Get your body movin', celebrate 
     F
your soul,
C     G        C         F     
Levon digs the doghouse, that's
          G         C      G  F  
 sho-nuff rock and roll.
C     C  G  F  C


C                   G         
Son of a plain dirt farmer, from 
    Am            F
southeast Arkansas,
C                G             F
he was born in a bare ramblin' shoe.
C               G             Am
Up and down the highway, and all
            F
 around the world,
C               G              Fss
laying down the rhythm and the 
blues.


 (Chorus)

C                        G        
We were hangin' from the rafters, 
Am            F
singing every song,
C                      G         
that big barn band was hot as it 
      F
could be.
C               G              
Up there in the spotlight, the 
Am             F
man behind the drums,
C                  G             
was takin' all the load off for 
       F
you and me.

 (Chorus)
C          G        C         F
Yea, Levon digs the doghouse, 
               G        C
that's sho-nuff rock and roll.
