Chuck & the Nomads Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]When he plugged [G]in his guitar,
it was [D]a beacon
[G]Calling kids from miles around,
[D]all the neighboring farm towns[C]
Seeking out the restless sound[G]s
of Chuck and [D]the No -Mans
One [G]guitar, drums, and saxophone
was all [D]they needed
Honky [G]Tonk and Everly Bros,
[D]the teenagers of Ohio
[C]Movin' to and fro to the sound[G]s
of Chuck and [D]the No Man's Land
Well the band broke [A]up when
college [G]came
Grandma recor[Bm]ded over the only t[Em]ape
Still my dad's story's in[Bm]spired
Of when [A]rock and roll was still a spark
about to become a [C]fire
[G]Chuck and the [D]Lone [C]Bats
Chuck [G]and the [D]Lone Bats
Sum[C]mer of [G]1958, [D]rock and roll
In the book I'll stay with [C]Chuck[G]
And the [D]Lone Bats [G]Here
[D][G]
[D][C][G][D]
Though he's not [A]in the hall of [G]fame,
he took the [Bm]time to teach me how [Em]to play,
a dance sharin' with his [Bm]kid,
the stuff that [Em]mattered most to [Bm]him,
and now it [A]matters to me and to [C]you
[G]Chuck and the [D]Nomads,
[C]Chuck [G]an d the [D]Nomads
[C]Best band that you [G]never heard,
[D]take it all
My papa's words,
[C]Chuck [G]an d the [D]Nomads[C]
Chuck [G]and [D]the No -Bits
[C]Chuck [G]an d the No [D]-Bits
They played [C]Everly Brothers
and [G]Honky Tonk
And [D]the kids shook their badonk -a -donks
He [C]turned the bass up [G]on his amp
The [D]American Legion
hall was packed
[C]Though we never [G]heard him play
The [D]legend still lives on
today of [C]Chuck[G]
And the [D]new days

[Outro 1]
[D]
