lyrics

Yodel Train
(dedicated to John Robert "J.R." Phelps)


Got a guitar. Played it a bit.
But my punk rock bar chords sounded like shit
Then the Grandad of a buddy of mine
Showed me the way and it blew my mind
I was playing it wrong...
Because it goes like this:

~

It seemed pretty simple, but boy was I wrong.
It's not just playing the chords; it's the whole damn song.
You've gotta play the bass line and the melody
Put it all together...
Just like 1,2,3

~

He showed me Hank Williams and Johnny Cash.
But the best vinyl records in his stash
Was the Jimmie Rodgers; the letter T's for me
Cuz for ScoTT MaTThew PiTTman...
It changed history

~

So if you're playing guitar and just strumming about
Take a cue from the past 'cuz you're missing out
Let's not forget tradition; let's really play guitar
You can start with this riff...
Cuz it'll take you far

~
