[Verse 1]
[Eb]Well[G], I tried to run my game
She said [F]"Man,
that's the same old [E]thing I've heard be[Am]fore"
And [Cm]I'm too tired to g[G]o for your s[D]how
(a[B]gain and again)
And she star[G]ted to explain
She said [F]"Man, I ain't sayin'
what you're [E]playin' just can't [Am]make it
[C]But [Cm]I can't ta[G]ke it anymore"
[D]Pla[Eb]y som[D]ethin' sweet,[G]
play somethin' [D]mellow
Play somethin' [G]I can sink
my teeth in like Jel[C]lo
Play something [D]I can unders[G]tand[D]
Play me some Brickyard
[G]Blu[C#dim]es[G][D]
Play somethin' [G]sweet and make it [D]funky
Just let [G]me lay back and
grin like a mon[C]key
Play something [D]I can u[G]nders[Gm]tand[D]
Play me some Brickyard
[G]Blues[C#dim][C][G][D]
Well, I star[G]ted to sweat
She said [F]"Don't get upset,
'cause [Bdim]you just migh[E]t break
[Am]a string and [C]that [Cm]won't
do [C]a t[G]hing for your s[D]how"
[B]So I [G]said to myself
I said, "Self, do [F]you see what is
sail[E]in' through my [Am]soul?"
And [C]I g[Cm]ot ta have some m[G]ore,
don't ya [D]know[Eb][D]
Play somethin' [G]sweet,
play [Em]somethin' [D]mello
Play somethin' [G]I can sink
my teeth in [C]like Jello
Play something [G]I can u[D]nderstand
Play me some Brickyard [G]Blues[C][G][D]
Play somethin' [G]sweet and make it [D]funky
Just let me [G]lay back and
grin like a mon[C]key
Play something [G]I can u[Gm]nders[C]tand[D]
Play me some Brickyard [G]Blues[C][G][C]
It's [D]enough to make it light the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit
hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet
Well, I tried to run my game
She said, "Man, that's the same
old thing I've heard before
And I'm too tired to go
for your show"
(again and again)
And she started to explain
She said, "Man, I ain't sayin'
what you're playin'
just can't make it, but I
[G]just can't take it
any more"
Play somethin' sweet,
play [Em]somethin' [D]mello
Play somethin' [G]I can sink
my teeth in like Jel[C]lo
Play something [D]I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
[G]Play somethin' sweet and
[C]make it funky
[G]Just [D]let me lay back and
[G]grin like a monkey
Play something [D]I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' sweet,
play [G]somethin' [C]mel[D]lo
Play somethin' I [G]can sink my
teeth in like Jello
Play something [D]I can understand
Play me some Brickyard Blues
Play somethin' [G]sweet[C]
[G]and[D] make it funky
[G]Just [D]let [G]me lay back and gri[C]n
[D]like a monkey
Play something I can understand
[G][C#dim][G]
[G]
Play me some Brickyard Blues
