Bass Playing Man Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Jim Pappas

[VERSE]
[D]Well we loaded up the van
[G]Picked up the [D]band

Tried to put some smiles on so
[A]Things wouldn't seem so bad
[D]He never got all the accolades
[G]He never had the [D]fame

But hearing country music now, won't
[A]Ever be the [D]same

[CHORUS]
[G]So call all the honky tonks
[D]Tell them things just changed
[A]Have them turn the lights down low
[D]Make 'em clear the stage
[G]Can't bear to hear Footlights now
[D]Or On the Road Again
[A]So I'll just listen to my memories of
The Bass Playing [D]Man

[VERSE]
[D]When we got to Cincinnati
[G]His friends all gathered '[D]round

Telling stories 'bout the good ol' days
[G]When he was still [D]around
[D]He laid down the rhythm
[G]He could take you klow he could [D]get you high

And when the band was on and he sang his song
Man that bar would come [D]alive

[CHORUS]
[G]So call all the honky tonks
[D]Tell them things just changed
[A]Have them turn the lights down low
[D]Make 'em clear the stage
[G]Can't bear to hear Folsom now
[D]Or On the Road Again
[A]So I'll just listen to my memories of
The Bass Playing [D]Man

[BRIDGE]
[D]I wish I knew when I last saw him
It would [G]be our last g[D]oodbye
[D]But his songs live on in so many hearts
The[A] Man will never [D]die

[CHORUS]
[G]So call all the honky tonks
[D]Tell them things just changed
[A]Have them turn the lights down low
[D]Make 'em clear the stage
[G]Can't bear to hear Footlights now
[D]Or On the Road Again
[A]So I'll just listen to my memories of
The Bass Playing [D]Man
[A]I'll just listen to my memories of
The Bass Playing [D]Man
