Blues Brothers - Theme

• Am

Hello Nevada archivers : This could be posted to blues_brothers, 
misc_teand guy_van_duser (a great guitarist who deserves a directory!) 

Here goes : 

This is an adaptation of the "Rawhide" melody, copped from Guy 
van Duser's "Great Western TV Medley", although he does it with a 
capo at the second fret.  Let me take this opportunity to plug 
Guy -- if you get a chance to hear his CD "American Fingerstyle 
Guitar", do so.  The "hat" symbol in this is a hammer-on or pull- 
off.  Now, think of the Blues Brothers in the country bar.  8-)

Rough lyrics for the first two verses, as I remember them: 

Rollin', rollin', rollin' 
Keep those wagons rollin' 
Keep those wagons rollin', rawhide 
All the things I'm missin' 
Good vittles, love and kissin' 
Wishin' my girl was by my side  

Rollin', rollin', rollin' 
Though those streams are swollen 
Gotta keep 'em rollin', rawhide 
Don't try and understand 'em 
Just rope and throw and brand 'em 
Soon we'll be livin' high and wide
