G F C G F C G F C G F C G When I was a young boy A Watching our TV C All the family came G And gathered around A young man with a banjo A With a grin from ear to ear C D Pickin' out that high and lonesome sound Em It wasn't any kind of sound A That I had heard before C Yet it was doggone plain D And clear to me G Em It was a rockabilly banjo G Em Wish I knew what he knows C Sittin' on his front porch D Pickin' on the strings C Any kind of music D He can make it sing G F C G F C Rockabilly banjo G F C G F C It was a rockabilly banjo G I got myself a fine string A T'was missin' one or two C So I fixed it up G The best that I could do I played it night and day A In every kind of way C D I was pickin' pretty good you could say Em I packed it up Didn't get far A Played for tips In the mason jar C In the back of my head D That sound called out to me G Em It was a rockabilly banjo G Em Wish I knew what he knows C Sittin' on his front porch D Pickin' on the strings C Any kind of music D He can make it sing G F C G F C Rockabilly banjo G F C G F C It was a rockabilly banjo G A C G G A C G Em A C D G High up on a ridge a I've been drinkin' too much fizz C Thinkin' I was done G Gonna call it quits Just th?n music filled the air A He was standin' th?re C He said come sit down G We're gonna play a bit Em Playin' all the songs A That I sang so long ago C He shook my hand and said D I'm givin' this to you this to you G Em It was a rockabilly banjo G Em Wish I knew what he knows C Sittin' on his front porch D Pickin' on the strings C Any kind of music D He can make it sing G F C G F C Rockabilly banjo G F C G F C He played a rockabilly banjo G F C G F C Rockabilly banjo G F C G F C G It was a rockabilly banjo
