Intro:
(hey Smooth Steve, where`s my skinny boy decaffe latte no
foam?) Hi this is Smooth Steve from K-Jazz welcome to Java the Hut.
Tonight we got a special guest a young man from… (where ya from?)
He`s playin` a new song, here we go.
Thanks Smooth Steve. Hey this is a song about a book I read
once about the so called apparent evils of Rock and Roll. And I
wrote this little song about it. Uh, I guess I`d just like to thank,
uh, thank you all for commin` out and sing this song tonight. Here it
goes.
I`m sorry but your gonna have to listen to the song to get the
strumming pattern cuz I cant show you here.
E E G G
Once I read a book, and this is what it said,
A A E E
If your music has a beat, then your gonna wind up dead.
E G
It doesn`t really matter if its Christian or not,
A A
If its syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot.
E(slide)A A(slide)E
And this book was called AH YOUR GONNA BURN
E(slide)A A(slide)E E(silence)E
And in the second chapter, I went on to learn.
E G A E
Take two houseplants and put `em to the test,
E G A E
Set `em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
E G A E
The first one you play Mozart or somethin` lovely like that,
E G A E
The second one you play that Petra and that Megadeath.
(quad. strum E)
Doesn`t really matter what kind of rock it is.
E G A E
So I took my two houseplants and I presented them to the test.
E G A E
Set `em both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
E G A E
I powered up my Pioneers and let the music roar.
E G A E (quad. strum E)
But twenty minutes later someone`s knocking at my door.
(thump your guitar if you have an acoustic)
E EE E G
I opened up my door, and there my neighbour stood.
A E
He said, Man I`d like to get some sleep; if ya really think I
could.
E G A
I said, Man, can`t you see here I got a moral dilemma that I have
E
Gotta get clear.
E G
He said, What kinda moral dilemma could you have at this time of
A E
Night that would make me so angry that I just wanna fight?
(here`s a tip, save you a couplea bux, don`t break anything just imagine
breaking something.)
E G A
Sorry, so I pointed to a page, in that open book, it had a picture of
E
A potted plant and I said, go have a look. And he read…
E G A E
Take two house plants and put em` to the test,
E G A E
Set em` both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.
E G A E
The first one you play Mozart or something lovely like that,
E G A E
The second one you play that Petra and that Megadeath.
Doesn`t really matter what kind of rock it is.
E-------------------------------------------------0-|&61663;This may sound
B------------------0----0---0---3----------2------0-|&61663;wrong or maybe
G-------1----1---1---0----0----------0---0---3-4--1-|&61663; be wrong but
D-2-2-2---2----2------------------0----0----------2-|&61663;that’s what it
A-------------------------------------------------2-|&61663;sounds like to
E-------------------------------------------------0-|&61663; me.
E G A
First of all, he said, that`s Vogner that your playin`, I`ve never
E E(silence)E
heard of Petra and isn`t Megadeath all dead?
E G A E
And secondly and thatically he asked me what`s the sense?
E G A
Of hangin` out with houseplants he said, hey I live right across the
e
fence.
And I thought to myself, you know that’s a good point.
E G A E
So I took my two houseplants and I put em` both outside,
E G A E
And me and my neighbour we went out for a drive.
E G A E
We talked about all the things that really matter most.
E G A E
Like life and love and happiness and then the Holy Ghost.
E G A E
(Naaaaah Naaaaaah Naaaaah Naaaaah)
E G A E
So now my two houseplants can sit out in the sun,
E G A E
And as for my neighbour well our friendship has become,
E G A E
A meaningful relationship that’s headed strait for heaven.
E G A
But as for now we like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline,
E E!E!E!E!E!E!E! (just play hard until you get tired
CRANKED TO ELEVEN!

boy decaffe latte no-foam?)
