(C major) (G major)
Verse 1
In the (G major) back
room (in the (C major) back room)
In the back (G major) room (C major) (in the back room)
I waited (G major) for you (C major) (waited for you)
Ya waited (G major) for me (C major) (waited for
(G major) me)
Rain came down, pit (C major) ter- pat
Say, 'What'd you think,
it's rain (G major) ing outside?'
You said, "So what"
(C major) You turned the record player on
Had a smoke, stood (G major) up
Walked across to the john
In a cloud (C major) of mist,
(G minor) (C major) couldn't (G major) resist (C major) (G major)
A kitty stepped into the hall
An' she rapped the (C major) door
Found the key in the letter box
(G major) She turned the door
Walked into the room
And said, 'What's (C major) goin' on?' (G major)
'I just got back from down the (C major) road
(G major) I gotta couple a- bottles a- wine
Somethin' (C major) to turn you on' (G major)
What- a ya think of (C major) that?
I (G major) said, 'Sit (C major) down cat,
pull up a seat
You're soakin' (G major) wet'
Take off your coat n' hat
Wipe your feet (C major) on the mat
(G major) In the (G minor) back room (in the (C major) back room)
In the back (G major) room (C major) (in the back room)
I waited (G major) for you (C major)
(waited for you)
Ya waited (G major) for me (C major) (waited for (G major) me)
I said, 'What time is it, Charlie
Where did (C major) we go all day?" (G major)
We seem to get no where and do noth (C major) in'
But sit lookin' at each other
He said, 'I (G major) know'
'I been doin' the same thing
for (C major) (G major) weeks'
I look at the clock
And all of a sudden (C major) I'm hypnotized
It speaks to me, it goes
'Tick- tock (G major) , tick- tock,
tick- (C major) (G major) tock'
Ah- huh
The kitty said
'I don't (C major) know what you guys do
But I been workin' so hard, lately
That I can just only (G major) just fall asleep
in (C major) (G major) bed'
So he played some (C major) more sounds
And grooved awhile (G major)
Somebody brought (C major) out some
Cherry wine, cherry (G major) wine (C major)
And we talked about (G major) what was
goin' on
In the music world, and other (C major) things
A- (G major) ha- ha- (C major) ha, ha- ha (G minor) (C major) (G major)
The rain outside came (C major) down
Like it came never before
Down (G major) it came, down it (G minor) came, rain (C major) rain rain (G major)
(C major) And I said
'Baby what time is it, what (G major) time is it
'Tell me, what time is it? (C major) (G major)
'A- four- (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) thirty'
So I peeked 'round the corner, the blind
(C major) An' there ya go
'There's another girl that's (G major) com
in' home from school
Lookin' so cool,
just learned (C major) her A's to Z's
And said, 'Hey man, (G major) don't look funny
All the little girls comin' home from school
(C major) And they're sittin',
talkin' and drinkin'
And all them (G major) other funny,
funny things
A- ha- ha (C major) (F major)
(C major) An (G major) d Charlie said to me
'Ya know (C major) what?'
I said, (G major) 'What?'
He said, "Man, you gotta (C major) go out there
'An do somethin' for yourself'
'Ya (G major) (C major) feel like ya (G major) wanna make it
Or else you gonna be sittin' 'round here
Like, nothin'
I (C major) said, "You're right'
I said "You're so (G major) right!'
He said
'I know' ah- (C major) ha
I said, 'Do (G major) ya?'
(C major) Said, 'You know,
you're cuttin' records (G major) (C major)
'Cuttin' records right
You came (G major) through that
An', they get (C major) through all the
time
You're gonna be out on the road
(G major) 'Oh, out in on back street, man
On the, on the, highway (C major) (G major)
An' the colors are gonna run (C major)
All of a sudden, don't ya feel sick?
(G major) The next gig, you gotta make it (C major)
I said, 'Yeah, I feel (G major) sick'
I said, 'Yeah, (C major) ya know I can't stay here
All the time, as much as I'd like to
(G major) But I just learn about all day
an (C major) d all night
An' dig sounds,
and go down to the river (G major)
(C major) And once the artists go
through the motions (G major) (C major)
Gotta do my thing
Aah- ah (G major) (in the back (C major) room)
Aah- ah
Gotta do my (G major) thing (in the (C major) back room)
In the (G major) back room (in the (C major) back room)
