 (D major) JCB: Where does it come from? We worked  (A major) one gig this month. And now, so, what do we get, two hundred dollars  (E minor) for this gig up here, if we're lucky. If we're lucky,
D 
Em 
we'll get  (D major) two hundred. And it'll be two weeks before we  (E minor) get it. Probably. I mean a- . . . after all, uh . . . what is all this shit in the, uh, in the newspaper? We sh- , if we got such a big name, how come, uh . . . we're. . .
