(Gave it up for Meat) [/tab]\r\n[tab]   [ch]G[/ch] \r\nMy second rock show I was offered some pot, [/tab]\r\n[tab]        [ch]C[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]                   [ch]G[/ch] \r\nBut i refused to be swayed or to be caught by a cop. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nGeddy, Alex, Neil: they played penultimate rock, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]             [ch]D[/ch]                 [ch]G[/ch] \r\nAnd for the very last song they set off five flash pots, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]        [ch]C[/ch]                    [ch]G[/ch] \r\nMy friend had an epileptic fit. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                                       [ch]C[/ch] \r\nBut the crowd cheered him on cause they thought that he was dancing. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch] \r\n(Thought that he was a fool on his back.) [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nMy third rock show was an epochal day, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]              [ch]G[/ch] \r\nIt was out at the ex, beneath the Alpine way [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nAerosmith and Goddo, they were okay, [/tab]\r\n[tab]    [ch]C[/ch]                [ch]D[/ch]                    [ch]G[/ch]                     [ch]E[/ch] \r\nBut when i saw the Ramones and it changed the way i saw the world. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]        [ch]G[/ch] \r\nI saw everything. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                        [ch]C[/ch] \r\nSo I bought a leather jacket, cut holes in my jeans. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                                       [ch]C[/ch]               [ch]D[/ch] \r\nWhen my parents saw my pants, then they took away the car keys for two days. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nThe Specials, Gand of Four, and all the new wave. [/tab]\r\n[tab]                  [ch]C[/ch]         [ch]D[/ch]                           [ch]G[/ch] \r\nI saw the Birthday Party play with Nick Cave. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nI saw XTC twice, I thought Paul Weller was Christ. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]                       [ch]G[/ch] \r\nI even met Michael Stipe, he was distant but he was nice. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]               [ch]C[/ch]       [ch]G[/ch] \r\nJoe Jackson saved my life [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                       [ch]C[/ch] \r\nAt Massey Hall, I got up and i started to dance [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                       [ch]C[/ch] \r\nBig ol' cop, he grabbed me, and pinned me against the stage. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                       [ch]C[/ch] \r\nCop reached down, and he took the hat off my head. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                       [ch]C[/ch] \r\nThen Joe reached down and he took the hat off the cops head, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                        [ch]C[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch] \r\nSo i wiggled free and i ran up into the balcony and swan dived. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nNow it's many years later and I'm up on the stage, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]       [ch]D[/ch]                [ch]G[/ch] \r\nSometimes i feel a little like a bird in a cage. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] \r\nUnder these lights you're either a mouse or a sage, [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]C[/ch]        [ch]D[/ch]      [ch]G[/ch] \r\nMusic belies one's actual age. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]E[/ch]       [ch]C[/ch]                [ch]G[/ch] \r\nIs it just a passing churn (yeah, could be, could be)? [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                                [ch]C[/ch] \r\nLike a rusty car, hair style, or an old shirt (shirt shirt), [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]D[/ch]                                [ch]C[/ch]              [ch]D[/ch] \r\nA CHUM chart, an 8 track, or a gate-folds double live. [/tab]\r\n[tab][ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] \r\nOh yeah, I was there[/tab]","plain_text":"My First Rock Concert \nDave Bidini - Blue Hysteria \nTranscribed - Ira Aikman","chords":["G","C","D","E","A"],"chord_diagrams":{"C":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,3,2,0,1,0],"frets":[0,3,2,0,1,0]},"D":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,0,0,1,3,2],"frets":[-1,-1,0,2,3,2]},"E":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[0,2,3,1,0,0],"frets":[0,2,2,1,0,0]},"G":{"barres":[],"baseFret":1,"fingers":[2,1,0,0,0,3],"frets":[3,2,0,0,0,3]}}}
