G 
I'm getting a big kick out of being
the producer of a hit single.
F 
that never ever happened
to me in my whole life.
Got a couple of gold albums on the wall,
but never had a hit single.
G 
That's always eluded me for 15 years.
F 
G 
Always wanted to be directly
involved with a hit single.
G 
Now I turn on the radio
and you hear it all the time.
It's a real rush.
Save a lot of money on drugs.
Just turn on the radio.
C 
Bb 
There's a.
F 
Like that, it's great.
It just turns you right
G 
on, hear it.
Dm 
That's my hand on that record,
C 
I  real good.
G 
G 
I  just, in the time that I had off, I wrote a book,
G 
I was just sitting around and I always
wanted to write a book, I wanted to write a book about the 60's,
F 
a non -fiction book
F 
about all the weird things that happened to me and the weird things that I saw,
G 
so I wrote
this book.
Some company bought it even,
which really freaked me out. I said, give it to
G 
an agent. I said, see if I can sell this turkey.
But a big publishing company bought it,
and
G 
it's go ing to come out in the summertime.
G 
I don't know what the name of it is, so don't
look for it.
But this is a song that is
sort of like an autobiography.
It's like the book,
G 
but it's more emotional than factual.
It's an autobiography in 725 bars,
C 
musical bars.
It's in
D tuning.
I have to take a second
C 
G 
C 
and make sure it's right.
Okay,
I've got to take these earphones off too.
