Do It On The Strings

The Mother Hips


Tom: G

Em                           D
I passed the headliner on the street today
     C                           G D
They didn't give me the time of day
 Em                       D
But when those boys got up to play
F
Made me want a whiskey
C
Made me want to stay
Em
I spoke with Kelly Ann
      D
It was just this afternoon
 C                                  G D
She wouldn't give me the time to say
Em                         D
Oh that when your move and smile my way
F
Makes me want to sing to you
 C
Makes me want to play


[Chorus]
 G Am G                               F C G
Do it on the strings and you'll have brothers all around you
 Em           D                   C    G
Somewhere in there they hear the truth
 G Am G                       F       C     G
Do it on the strings and the pleasure will surround you
 Em            D                   C G
Do it on the strings and it rings true


[Break]
Em D C  G D
Em D F C      G Am G   F C G


[Verse]
Em                           D
I saw the headlights coming down the road the other night
          C                   G D
I thought maybe it was Kelly Ann
  Em                     D
But it was just another Rocky Mountain double
        F
Rolling on to Cedar City
 C
Loneliness is me


[Chorus]
 G Am G                              F C G
Do it on the strings and you'll have brothers all around you
 Em          D                    C G
Somewhere in there they hear the truth
 G Am G                       F C G
Do it on the strings and the pleasure will surround you
 Em            D                  C G
Do it on the strings and it rings true

[Break]
Em D C  G D
Em D F C  

[Chorus]
 G Am G                              F C G
Do it on the strings and you'll have brothers all around you
 Em          D                    C G
Somewhere in there they hear the truth
 G Am G                       F C G
Do it on the strings and the pleasure will surround you
 Em            D                  F           C       G
Do it on the strings and it rings true, it rings true
