The Man Behind the Drums Robert Earl Keen
Texasfender
[C]We left New York [G]City, with [Am]nothin' but a [F]song,
[C]she'll be coming' 'round the [G]mountain when she [F]comes.
[C]We wound up in [G]Woodstock, [Am]at an old time [F]jamboree,
[C]came to see the [G]man behind the [F]drums.
(Chorus)
[C]Levon digs the [F]doghouse, [C]playing in The [F]Band,
[C]when he locks in [G]to that [C]backbeat it ain't [D]hard to under[F]stand.
[C]Get your body [F]movin', [C]celebrate your [F]soul,
[C]Levon [G]digs the [C]doghouse, [F]that's sho-nuff [G]rock and r[C]oll.[G] [F] [C] [C] [G] [F] [C]
[C]Son of a plain dirt [G]farmer, from s[Am]outheast Arkan[F]sas,
[C]he was born in a [G]bare ramblin' [F]shoe.
[C]Up and down the [G]highway, and a[Am]ll around the [F]world,
[C]laying down the [G]rhythm and the [F]blues.
(Chorus)
[C]We were hangin' from the [G]rafters, [Am]singing every [F]song,
[C]that big barn band was [G]hot as it could [F]be.
[C]Up there in the [G]spotlight, the [Am]man behind the [F]drums,
[C]was takin' all the [G]load off for you and [F]me.
(Chorus)
[C]Yea, Levon [G]digs the [C]doghouse, [F]that's sho-nuff [G]rock and [C]roll.
