  Words and Song Structure

  

  [Over Verse Riff]

  

  Born in the shed with the guitar on

  Jam the shtick to do for gigs

  Bits and pieces of the workin' pieces

  Jam the shtick to do for gigs.

  Now it took me and D. Boon and George's stench

  To put it up on stage

  Define the practice and jam econo

  

  [Over Chorus Riff]

  

  It's a just a tour spiel, tour spiel, tour spiel

  

  [Over Verse Riff]

  

  I dreamed I was E. Bloom but I woke up Joe Bouchard

  In some town out on the road.

  Had my leather boots on just like Richard told me

  Like some hack on the Spectors Tour

  

  [Solo - Am pentatonic (not tabbed here)]

  

  [Turn around, play these chords, open positions: G - Am - F - C]

  

  [Over Chorus Riff]

  

  tour spiel, tour spiel, tour spiel

  

  [Over Verse Riff]

  

  Well you've got your guitar and your practice amp

  You travel the USA in a van

  And you're always counting on some situation

  So you'll write the song on command

  When the guitar's turned off and the gas tank's empty

  When the typewriter's on and my head is empty

  To really find me, I've got to look inside me

  

  [Over Chorus Riff]

  

  Tour Spiel, Tour Spiel, Tour Spiel
