 "dont take me..." "just coming..."  "fifth avenue..."  fill


The main bass part is the Bb-C lick with a few extra notes tossed 
in every once in a while (see the fill, for example,) and it's
mostly based on a Bb major scale (Bb C D Eb F G A). The fill comes
in between the C's (E|--8--). That bridge thing ("all alone...5th 
ave.") has that fill based in C. Any corrections are welcome. I'm
including the lyrics cos they're not complete in the liner notes.


little amsterdam
in a southern town
hominy get it on the plate girl
momma keep your head down
momma it wasn't my bullet


chorus:

don't take me back to the range 
back to the range
i'm just comin out of the cell in my brain 
back to the range
girl you got to know these days 
which side you're on


momma got shit
she loved a brown man
then she built a bridge in the sheriff's bed
she'd do anything to save her man
you see her olives they are cold pressed
and her best friend is a sun dress
but momma
it wasn't my bullet


repeat chorus


all alone got a girl in the city 
hey gotta room and a place for two
gotta go down far and i said boy 
you are my fifth avenue


round and a round and a round i go
round and a round this time for keeps
father only you can save my soul
and playing that organ must count for something
girl you got to know these days
which side your on
little amsterdam
shut down today
they buried her with a
butter bean bouguet
and the sheriff now can't ride away
like he said into the sunset
and i wont say 
he shouldna paid
but momma
it wasn't my bullet
