Fighting For The Sweetness
Roger Alan Wade
D
Capo the 1st fret! Intro: D G D On the boulevard in Paris called the Shanzelize G I ducked into a sad cafe D Sat down with the ghost of Hemingway A G Ordered a bottle of Beaujolais and talked about everything D We talked all night about everything D He said “where'd you get that old rucksack?” G I said “Popeye just got back D From ramblin' 'round with Kerouac A G I left him by the railroad track, he gimme this turquoise ring D He gimme this turquoise ring” D Ernest said “Yeah, well how's Jack doin'?” G I said “Man he sure seemed congruent D Still a crazy social truant A G Just bummin' around and and gettin' fluent in the Tao Te Ching D Still doin' that Buddhist thing Bm I left him hungry and needin' a shave A Master of Zen and a freedom slave Bm Runnin' off to sleep on Charlie Parker's grave A G I said “Hey Jack, tell Baird I said hey and man thanks for the ring D Thanks again for the ring” G D And I will follow the footsteps through the garden A D I'll lick the nectar from that holy flower of freedom G D I ask nothing more of my life and nothing less A D D7 You know it all comes down to havin' the courage to be yourself I guess G D It all comes down to fightin' for the sweetness A D Ohhh, Momma...Fightin' for that sweetness D I seen a grievous angel on my way over here G At a jazz joint in Georgetown swillin' Jamaican beer D I said “are you okay Gram? You're actin' weird“ A G He said “Roy Buchanan used to play in here, yeah I'll be okay D I'll be okay my friend” D So we shot some pool and made some bets G He told me bout this girl named Emmylou he'd met D He bummed my last cigarette A G And ran off lookin' for Stan Getz hummin' Hickory Wind D Just hummin' Hickory Wind And I will follow the footsteps through the garden I'll lick the nectar from that holy flower of freedom I ask nothing more of my life and nothing less You know it all comes down to havin' the courage to be yourself I guess It all comes down to fightin' for the sweetness Ohhh, Momma...Fightin' for that sweetness D Then Django Reinhardt come strollin' in G With Arthur Rimbaud and a bottle of gin D Said “They fooled around and missed the train again” A G They's out lookin' for Hank Williams, they wanted to buy him one D Everyone always wanted to buy ol' Hank one D So Ernie stood up to say hello G He turned to me and said “Man I gotta go D So long Hank, so long Django A G I gotta get back to Idaho, I gotta kiss my gun D I gotta french kiss my shotgun
