Those hollowbody days on Davis Street in Arlington Heights, IL.

lyrics

UNCLE ALBERT'S (capo 2nd fret, positions as played)

G- Cm riff
Uncle Alberts
Was a record store
With a sloping dusty walnut floor
Flourescent lights and plywood bins
They had a card for almost everything
C D (slide to it)
I bought a record a week, with care,
D C
much care
G Cm
I met my people there

(continue) G - Cm riff
Got a teenage job behind the register
Fantasized about the owner’s wife
A7
She much preferred my friend
back to G- Cm riff
I always thought she had a crush on him
C D
But he didn’t act on that…
D - C
G Cm
Nobody did back then
Repeat G-Cm riff for one measure
C D
I bought two records a week,
D C
with care
G Cm
I met my brothers there
Stay on G upon return

G F
And we listened to Spa – a-ace… Child
Am
And Mike’s guitar tossed me up into the sky
G -F
And I still haven’t come
G F
down to the earth
G
And what’s more
F G
I don’t even wanna try

~

Em –A – A (add D on top) over:
And you can tell me that the world is round
But I know it’s flat
And if you say that glitter is gold
I know it’s black
And you can tell me about tomorrow
But I will point back

G F - E
To the sign that said NOW PLAYING
G F - E
Cause for me it’s STILL playing

G- Cm riff
Uncle Alberts was a record store
I worked there for maybe nine months, no more
It seemed like a lifetime then
C D
I bought three records a week
D C
No more
G Cm
It was my record store
~ ~
G F
And we listened to Bill Nelson
Am
And his guitar blew apart my youthful mind
G -F
And it’s still blowin
G F
I can’t get away
G
From the sunburst finish
F G
Of those hollow body days

out on Em – A riffage
