The Charlie Daniels Band - Mister Dj

      [Verse]

    D            D/C#             D/B     Dadd4/A
Mr. DJ won't you please play me a song
G                               A
Play it for an old boy who's a long, long way from home
       F#m                    Em
With a 1000 miles ahead and a thousand miles behind
  G                          A
A dollar in his pocket and a woman on his mind
        D               D/C#         D/B     Dadd4/A
You can pick out almost anything you choose.
     G                          A     
Play Sweet Home Alabama or let Waylon sing the blues
        F#m                             Em
I don't care what kind of music just as long as it sounds tough
          G                             A
But don't play any hurting songs 'cause I feel bad enough


[Chorus]

          G                                 A
Now don't get the wrong impression, I ain't meaning to complain
       F#m                           Bm
But it would be Sunday morning and I guess it had to rain
      G            G/F#        Em                  A           D               D7
I was doing pretty good 'til I heard that darn old train going thru, who knows where
      G                                A
And I guess the combination's got me feeling kind a low
    F#m                              Bm
And all I got to cheer me up is this all night radio
              G                 G/F#             Em         A             D
Why don't you play us something hot and let this 18 wheeler roll my blues away


[Verse 2]

       D            D/C#             D/B     Dadd4/A
Well I called her from a phone booth in St. Paul
       G                                A    
When I asked her if she loves me, I got no reply at all
       F#m                                     Em
And if that's the way she wants it, that's the way it's gonna be
         G                         A
It might hurt a little while, but that's alright with me

       D            D/C#             D/B     Dadd4/A
I been 10 years wondering what went wrong
         G                          A
And then I turned on my radio and I heard a country song
       F#m                           Em
And it kinda keeps me moving just to roll on down the line
     G                                  A
But when you played that hurting song I almost started crying


[Chorus 2]

 G                                   A
Willie drowned in Whiskey River with Hank Jr's. rowdy friends
      F#m                           Bm
Those rich boys sang Elvira, Ricky played the mandolin
       G            G/F#           Em             A               D             D7
Them old boys from Alabama put the pedal to the metal and let her roll, roll along
       G                                    A
Then I started feeling bad when George stopped loving her today
              F#m                           Bm
Why don't you let old Micky Gilley get down on them 88's
            G                 G/F#             Em         A             D    D/C#    D/B     Dadd4/A
Come on and play us something hot and let this 18 wheeler roll my blues away
 D    D/C#    D/B     Dadd4/A
      Hey Mr. D.J.
      Hey Mr. D.J.
      Hey Mr. D.J.
      Hey Mr. D.J.
