    Intro:
  •  
    (hey Smooth Steve, where's my skinny boy decaffe latte no
    foam?) Hi this is Smooth Steve from K-Jazz welcome to "Java the Hut."
  • Tonight we got a special guest a young man from… (where ya from?)
    He's playin' a new song, here we go.
     
  • Thanks Smooth Steve. Hey this is a song about a book I read
    once about the "so called" apparent evils of Rock and Roll. And I
    wrote this little song about it. Uh, I guess I'd just like to thank,
  • uh, thank you all for commin' out and sing this song tonight. Here it
    goes.
     
  • I'm sorry but your gonna have to listen to the song to get the
    strumming pattern cuz I cant show you here.

  • Once I read a book, and this is what it said,
    A A E E
    "If your music has a beat, then your gonna wind up dead.
  • E G
    It doesn't really matter if its Christian or not,
    A A
  • If its syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot."
    E(slide)A A(slide)E
    And this book was called "AH YOUR GONNA BURN"
  • E(slide)A A(slide)E E(silence)E
    And in the second chapter, I went on to learn.
    E G A E
  • Take two houseplants and put 'em to the test,
    E G A E
    Set 'em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
  • E G A E
    The first one you play Mozart or somethin' lovely like that,
    E G A E
  • The second one you play that Petra and that Megadeath.
    (quad. strum E)
    Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.
  • E G A E
    So I took my two houseplants and I presented them to the test.
     
  • E G A E
    Set 'em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
    E G A E
  • I powered up my Pioneers and let the music roar.
    E G A E (quad. strum E)
    But twenty minutes later someone's knocking at my door.
  • (thump your guitar if you have an acoustic)
    E EE E G
    I opened up my door, and there my neighbour stood.
  • A E
    He said, "Man I'd like to get some sleep; if ya really think I
     
  • could."
    E G A
    I said, "Man, can't you see here I got a moral dilemma that I have
  • E
    Gotta get clear."
    E G
  • He said, "What kinda moral dilemma could you have at this time of
    A E
    Night that would make me so angry that I just wanna fight?"
  • (here's a tip, save you a couplea bux, don't break anything just imagine breaking something.)
    E G A
    Sorry, so I pointed to a page, in that open book, it had a picture of
  • E
    A potted plant and I said, "go have a look." And he read…
    E G A E
  • Take two house plants and put em' to the test,
    E G A E
    Set em' both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
  • E G A E
    The first one you play Mozart or something lovely like that,
    E G A E
  • The second one you play that Petra and that Megadeath.
     
    Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

    E G A
    "First of all," he said, "that's Vogner that your playin', I've never
  • E E(silence)E
    heard of Petra and isn't Megadeath all dead?"
    E G A E
  • And secondly and thatically he asked me what's the sense?
    E G A
    Of hangin' out with houseplants he said, "hey I live right across the
  • e
    fence."
     
  • And I thought to myself, you know that’s a good point.
    E G A E
    So I took my two houseplants and I put em' both outside,
  • E G A E
    And me and my neighbour we went out for a drive.
     
  • E G A E
    We talked about all the things that really matter most.
    E G A E
  • Like life and love and happiness and then the Holy Ghost.
    E G A E
    (Naaaaah Naaaaaah Naaaaah Naaaaah)
  • E G A E
    So now my two houseplants can sit out in the sun,
    E G A E
  • And as for my neighbour well our friendship has become,
    E G A E
    A meaningful relationship that’s headed strait for heaven.
  • E G A
    But as for now we like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline,
    E E!E!E!E!E!E!E! (just play hard until you get tired
  • CRANKED TO ELEVEN!
  • PLAY TOO ..
