Cool, I'll look it up. In the meantime, can you sing it for me?

Oh I like most everything. Country, folk, pop, you name it. As long as its good music, I can appreciate it.

Plastic Jesus.

Badass song!

Quote

C (C7)
Well, I don't care if it rains or freezes,
F
Long as I have my plastic Jesus
C D7
Riding on the dashboard of my car
C
Through all trials and tribulations,
F
We will travel every nation,
C G7 C
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.

F C
cho: Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
C (D7) G7
Riding on the dashboard of my car
C (C7)
Through all trials and tribulations,
F (F#dim7)
We will travel every nation,
C G7 C
With my plastic Jesus I'll go far.


I don't care if it rains or freezes
's long as I've got my Plastic Jesus
Glued to the dashboard of my car,
You can buy Him phosphorescent
Glows in the dark, He's Pink and Pleasant,
Take Him with you when you're travelling far.

I don't care if it's dark or scary,
Long as I have magnetic Mary,
Ridin' on the dashboard of my car,
I feel I'm protected amply,
I've got the whole damn Holy Family,
Riding on the dashboard of my car.

You can buy a Sweet Madonna
Dressed in rhinestones sitting on a
Pedestal of abalone shell,
Goin' ninety, I'm not wary
'Cause I've got my Virgin Mary,
Guaranteeing I won't go to Hell.

I don't care if it bumps or jostles
Long as I got the Twelve Apostles
Bolted to the dashboard of my car
Don't I have a pious mess
Such a crowd of holiness
Strung across the dashboard of my car

When pedestrians try to cross
I let them know whose boss
I never blow my horn or give them warning
I ride all over town,
trying to run them down
And it's seldom that they live to see the morning


Plastic Jesus, Plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car
His halo fits just right
and I use it as a sight
And they'll scatter or they'll splatter near and far

God made Christ a Holy Jew
God made Him a Christian too
Paradoxes populate my car
Joseph beams with a feigned elan
From the shaggy dash of my furlined van
Famous cuckold in the master plan;

Naughty Mary, smug and smiling,
Jesus dainty and beguiling
Knee-deep in the piling of my van;
His message clear by night or day
My phosphorescent plastic Gay
Simpering from the dashboard of my van.

If I weave around at night
And the police think I'm tight,
They'll never find my bottle, though they ask;
plastic Jesus shelters me,
For His head comes off, you see--
He's hollow, and I use Him for a flask.

Plastic Jesus, plastic Jesus
Riding on the dashboard of my car:
Ride with me and have a dram,
Of the blood of the Lamb,
Plastic Jesus is a holy bar.

London Homesick Blues

Quote

G
Well when youre down on your luck you aint got a buck
D
in London youre a goner now even London bridge is falling down
G C
you move to Arizona and I know what
C
and Ill substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is
G
drier than the Texas sand
Em Cm
you can put up your dukes you can bet your boots
D
but Im leavin just as fast as I can now

Chorus:
D C Em Am
I wanna go home with the armadilla
C D G
good country music from Amarilla and Abilene
C D G
the friendliest people and the prettiest women youve ever seen

Verse 2:
G D
Well its cold over here and I swear I wish theyd turn the heat on
D G C
and where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet on the 3rd floor
C G
and of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar
Em Cm D
My heart keeps roamin my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar

Chorus

Verse 3
G D
Well I decided that Id get my cowboy hat and go down to the marble arch station
D
cause when a Texan fancies hell take his chances
G C
chances will be takin thats for sure
C G
and them limey eyes they were eyein the prize some people call manly foot wear
Em Cm
and they said youre from down south and when you open your mouth
D
you always seem to put your foot there

Chorus

Front Porch Song

Quote

Front Porch Song
written by Robert Earl Keen and Lyle Lovett


G Em
This old porch is just a big ol' red and white Hereford bull
C D
Standin' under a mesquite tree in Agua Dulce Texas
G Em
He just keeps on playing hide and seek with that hot August sun
C D G
He's sweatin' and a pantin' cause his work is never done
Em
Oh no
C D
He's got them cows and that red top cane

This old porch is just a steaming greasy plate of enchiladas
With lots of cheese and onions and a' guacomole salad
You can get at the La Salle Hotel in old downtown
With ice tea and a waitress who will smile everytime
Yea she will
I left a quarter tip on my ten dollar bill

This old porch is a palace walk-in on the main stream Texas
It ain't ever seen or heard the day of G & R and X's
With the '62 poster that's almost faded down
And a screen with out a picture since Giant came to town
Oh no,
I love them junior mints and them red hots, too
Yes I do, oh yea, and old movie pictures

This old porch is just a weathered gray hair seventy years of Texas
He's doing all he can not to give in to the city
And he always takes the rent late so long as I run his cattle
He picks me up at dinner time I listen to him rattle
He says the Brazos still runs muddy like she's run all along
There ain't ever been no cane to grind the cotton's all but gone
And you know this Chevrolet pickup she was something back in '60
Now there ain't nobody listen to him cause they all think he's crazy
This old porch is just a long time waitin' and forgetin'
And remembering the coming back not crying 'bout the leavin'
And rememberin' and the falling down and the laughter
and the curse of luck from all of those son's of bitches
Who said we'd never get back up

This old porch is just a big ol' red and white Hereford bull
Standin' under a mesquite tree out in Agua Dulce
He just keeps on playing hide and seek with that hot August sun
He's sweatin' and a pantin' cause his work is never done
Oh no
I've known a whole lot of old bulls in my life and there work is
never done

Enjoy!

Are ya'll down with Veggie Tales?

[AggieDave 6]

Holy crap Veggie Tales are great, I love the one where they did David and Goliath. The sheep kept falling over, funniest freak'n thing I've seen in a long time.

Amazing song.

And no I can't sing it for you!

The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

[peacefuljeffrey 0]

The Indigo Girls -- try "Prince of Darkness," "Secure Yourself," "Love's Recovery."
All awesome, beautiful acoustic songs!

Then there's Neil Young's "Old Man," and "Don't Let It Bring You Down."

Four Non-Blondes had that song "What's Up?" that's cool. It has electric parts, but could probably be done nicely on acoustic.

Dan Fogelberg, "The Leader of the Band" is a gorgeous song, very sentimental. So is "Longer."

Can you do Led Zeppelin's "Bron Yr Aur"? It's awesome!

I have to say, I envy you being able to play guitar. I have a guitar, but have not been able to apply myself much to learning to play it. I know some chords, but cannot yet reliably finger them, my strumming is for shit... shall I go on?

Maybe some day...

Dave,
I love the front porch song!! Maybe I'll have to bring the guitar to AOT and jam that one, but I sure can't sing it. Robert Keen Robert Keen! You'll just have to help me out on the lyrics then.

Dude yeah veggie tales rock. The asparagus is like, me.

you can play the acoustic guitar, good girl! I;ve been thinking about picking it up myself, the problem is I dont like to practice. Anyways, anything by Van Morrison or Bob Dylan is good, what about "Girl from the North Country" by Dylan? It's a great song...and Jack Johnson has some nice guitar songs...I think

Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

[AggieDave 6]

There's a couple of us that'll have guitars out Saturday evening at AOT, we're gonna play "The Rigger's Wife" in tribute to John Chote (he wrote it). I'm sure more songs could possibly be had.

[brits17 0]

Thanks Kramer, Jeff and Sarah! I have plenty to keep me occupied for the evening now

Yeah, I remember every year, someone busts out the guitar. I played a little a couple years back. Mini-session Anyway, I've heard that tune (rigger's wife)! Awesome, I didn't know John wrote that. It will be an exceptional memorial boogie, quite an emotional one too I have a feeling.

Yeah, Gary (beachbum) and I are going to play it, which is cool since Gary and John were close friends.

So anyways, I'll have my acoustic out on Saturday, you bring yours, Gary is bringing his (he's really good, btw) and I can even bring some tabs just in case.

--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

[brits17 0]

Sweetness. I can follow alright. Tabs are a bonus. See you then!

I'm fond of the Indigo Girl's "Power of Two", "Galileo" and "Closer to Fine". "Gone Again" is a really catchy tune, too.
