Flatpicking Carnegie Hall (2002) -------------------------------- to the tune of 'Flowers on the Wall' (Statler Brothers) C Am I keep hearing your concerned about my happiness D G Far away at flatpick camp I'm trying to do my best C Am If I was walking in your shoes I wouldn't worry none D G While you're at home, watching kids I'm out here havin' fun CHORUS Am Flatpickin' Carnegie Hall, it don't bother folks at all Am Playin' St. Anne's Reel 'til dawn with a group of 21 [Note - insert flatpick break here] F Takin' guitar breaks and watching World Cup on TV D G It's nothin' to you, It's music to me 2nd Verse Tonight I dressed in jeans, playin' in a guitar band Beppe was conductin' and I held the music stand The rhythm section drove the beat, they knocked out Bye Bye Blues The audience applauded, we had nothin' left to lose. CHORUS 3rd Verse It's good to be here, I won't go, I'm stayin' overnight Need to practice Gold Rush until I get it right [Note - insert flatpick break] Please don't give a thought to me, I'm really doin' fine Playin' here at Kaufman Camp and tryin' to keep Time.... CHORUS Mudcat - These lyrics were written to the tune of 'Flowers on the Wall' in 2002 during a week of Steve Kaufman's Flatpicking Camp (Marysville, TN). Carnegie Hall is actually a college dormitory on the campus of Marysville college Hope you like it (makes for good flatpickin' entertainment). Next stop - Carnegie Hall! voyager
