Submitted by: Ruth Barohn
Subject: CRD: "Spike" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Written by: T.P.
From the wonderful 1985 album "Southern Accents"--MCA Records
This song is the story of Spike--the legendary boy with a dog collar on--
and his experience upon entering the Cypress Lounge, a little redneck bar
in lovely Gainesville, Florida.
Intro: Am
Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Verse:
Oh look we got another one, just like the other ones
Another bad ass, another trouble maker
I'm scared, ain't you boys scared
Oh, I wonder if he's gonna show us what bad is
Boys we got a man with a dog collar on
Think we oughta throw ol' Spike a bone
Make me say
Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Verse 2:
Oh here's another misfit, another Jimmy Dean
Bet he's got a motorbike, whatta ya'll think
Bet if we be good, we'll get a ride on it
If he ain't to mad about the future
Maybe we oughta help him see, the future ain't what it used to be
Chorus:
Listen, hey Spike whatta you like
G Am(2 measures) D(2 measures)
Hey Spike whatta you like
C D D D C / D C C C D / C D D D C / D C C C D / Em(4 measures)
Oh say
Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Chorus:
Hey Spike whatta you like
Hey Spike you're scarin' my wife
Hey Spike tell us about life
Can you tell me about life
I might need me a dog collar too boy
It might make me say, say Oow
I might say, might say...
(to get the full effect, you must end by panting like a dog)
