I Cant Turn You Loose

The Blues Brothers
Tab
★4.8(5)

This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Spoken over the melody

Good evening ladies and gentlemen

and welcome to the Universal Amphitheater.

Well here it is the late nineteen seventies,

going on nineteen eighty five.

You know so much of the music we hear today is

pre-programmed electronic disco,

we never get a chance to hear the master blues men

practicing their craft anymore.

By the year two thousand and six

the music known today as the blues will exist only in

the classical records department of your local public library.

So tonight ladies and gentlemen, while we still can

let us welcome from Rock Island, Illinois,

the blues band of Johnny and Jake and Elwood Blues,

the Blues Brothers.
