Verse 1
(F major) Good God Almighty,
(G minor) like back in the old days.
You know, (G major) years ago they (G minor) had A
&R men
to tell you what to (B flat major) play,
(A flat minor) how to play it, you (E flat major) know, whether it disco (G minor) or rock.
(G major) But (G minor) we just told Bruce
(F major) that we wanted a straight -ed jazz album,
(E flat major) so we got all the fellas together.
(G major) Grady Tate, Ron Carter,
George (B flat major) Ben son,
Stanley Tarantino.
(G minor) Stan ley was coming off of a cool jazz festival,
Ron was coming off a cool jazz festival. (B flat major)
(E flat major) And we just went in the studio
and we did it.
(G major) We had champagne in the studio,
(G minor) of course, you know,
(G major) compliments of the company,
(F sharp minor) an d we just laid (F major) back and did it.
(G major) Also, Grady Tate's wife
bought us some home -cooked chicken.
And we just laid back
and we was chopping
(G minor) on chicken and having a ball.
(G major) Jazz is the (F major) only real music
that's gonna (G major) last.
All that other bullshit is here today
and gone tomorrow.
But jazz was, is, and always will be.
We may not do this (D major) recording (G major) again,
I may not get with the fellas again,
George, Ron, Grady Tate,
Stanley Turrentine,
so we hope you en
joy listening to this album
half as much (G major) as we enjoy playing
it for you
because we had a ball.
