Complimentary Muffin Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]So, as well as doing coaching
of songs tonight,
we're going to tell you some of our
rock and roll anecdotes.
Give you a sort of behind the scenes
look at the life of the band.
You know, some pretty [D]funny experiences that we've had,
pretty crazy [G]ones as well. Yeah.
And I think one that encompasses
both those subsets
is the... I don't know, I don't think
subsets
is a very rock [A]and roll way
[G]of describing...
That's what we're talking about,
the fun rock and roll subset.
The story that Jermaine is talking about,
I think, is the muffin story.
Oh, yeah.
This is a story of the time
when I got to my hotel room...
Oh, no, sorry, let me get a
bit of context.
Wait, hold on. Everyone listen to Brett. Okay. Okay,
so first of all, being in a band,
[Bb]we stay in [G]hotels,
because we tour around,
we stay in some
quite fancy hotels now.
yes, we've stayed [F]in some premier inns,
[G]we've stayed in some of the very
best westerns out there.
And I got to my room
and there was a complimentary
muffin
sitting on the table,
so you guys obviously don't stay in these
fancy hotels
because this is very unusual.
Some of you are a few steps ahead,
you're like, okay, this is where the
fun's beginning.
Yep.
So I okay, I thought if I've got a
complimentary muffin,
I bet old Mad Dog's got a complimentary
muffin.
That's my nickname,
I'll tell you about that later,
but tell them the joke
about the complimentary muffin.
okay, yeah, sure.
Okay, so the complimentary muffin,
now, it's not a muffin that says, oh,
hello Brett, you look good today.
It's a complimentary muffin.
Yeah. Imagine that, though.
Imagine that. It's ridiculous.
It's such a fun...
A very flattering pastry,
little blueberry [A]eyes,
and [F]just looking up at you going...
[G]adorable. I'll eat that. He's just looking up at you going,
you've got a nice personality,
little muffin.
That's just the little digression
we add in to this.
Yeah, we just like spice up the story
with a bit of humour.
Yeah.
That wasn't something
[F]that occurred to us at the [G]time.
And so I thought, if I've got a complimentary muffin,
bet Mad Dog here's got one, and...
Alright, you're probably wondering
why I get called Mad Dog.
This is a nickname that caught on
when Jermaine emailed me
with the subject new nickname
I'm not sure if that's the start of it
I'm sure it was a series of
events
No, well, it was a series of emails
It was yeah,
the three or four emails reminded me
and then eventually it caught on
and now I've got it in
I mean, it's not important the story
about how I got the name
I've got a [F]reputation
and they [G]call me Mad Dog within the band
So I called his room
and I'd only been in the room
two or three minutes
you know me and my muffin
and I call [Bb]up Jermaine's room
I mean mad dog and [G]he
answers the phone
he's already bloody half
way through that muffin
bloody Keith Richards over here
I didn't even wait as soon as I saw
it
What did you do?
You just walk in there like give me that I'll
take that yeah
basically that's pretty much it
he wasn't even there and he
guessed it because I'm a mad dog
And you start to get a picture
of the life of excess that we
live.
For you to know it's a life of excess,
[F]you need to [G]also know
that we had muffins for breakfast.
That's right, yep.
So it's bloody [G]two muffins in one day.
Double [C]muffin it.
[G]We collect these sto[F]ries as we travel around,
you never know when something crazy is
going to happen.
Yeah, that one was about seven years ago.
