Steve Gibbons Band, Tulane (1977)
Key: :[D] (w: Chuck Berry, 1970)
VERSE 1:
[D] Tulane and Johnny opened a novelty shop,
Back under the counter, was the cream of the crop,
[G] Everything was clicking and the business was good,
'Till
[D] one day, lo behold an officer stood.
[A] Johnny jumped the counter but he
[G] stumbled and fell,
[D] But Tulane made it up and Johnny belted a yell
CHORUS:
[D] Go head on, Tulane, he can't catch up with you.
[D] Go Tulane, he ain't man enough for you.
[G] Go Tulane, use all the speed you got.
[D] Go Tulane, you know you need a lot.
[A] Go Tulane, he
[G] lagging behind.
Go head
[D] on, Tulane, go head on
VERSE 2:
Go by your father's house, tell him business is slow
See if he will loan you something, soon as he hits the dough.
Put the cat out in the hall and rumple up the room
Go by Doctor Keller's, tell him you swallowed some perfume
Tell him we need him quick, cause he may have to testify
That you've been sick all day and that's a perfect alibi
REPEAT CHORUS:
INSTRUMENTAL:
VERSE 3:
Go, let Danny drive in case you run into the Man
Back by the shop and get the stuff and hide it in the van
Go back by your father's, get the money for the bail
And bring it down and bail me out this rotten, funky jail
We gotta get a lawyer in the click of politics
Somebody who can win the thing and get this thing fixed
REPEAT CHORUS:
