Three Chords and the Truth Songtext
von Van Morrison

Well I started to sing
Hear the church bells ring
Three chords and the truth
Donigan was king
I said give me something (ooh)
That I can use
Three chords and the truth
Shot of rhythm and blues

When the band comes through
And you know what to do
Got to play the blues
Three chords and the truth
And I woke up in the morning (ooh)
And I heard the good news
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues


Three chords and the truth
Got to do everything
Hear the church bells ring
Donigan was king
Well I woke up in the morning (ooh)
Before I went to school
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

Three chords and the truth
(Three chords and the truth)
Shot of rhythm and blues
(Shot of rhythm and blues)
Three chords and the truth
(Three chords and the truth)
Baby, that I can use (ooh)

Woke up in the morning (ooh)
And I read the good news
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

Three chords and the truth
(Three chords and the truth)
Baby, you′ve got to move
(Baby, you've got to move)
Three chords and the truth
(Three chords and the truth)
Got to stay in the groove (ooh)


When your feet start dancing
And you just got nothing to lose
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues

Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues
Three chords and the truth
Shot of rhythm and blues
Three chords and the truth
A shot of rhythm and blues
Hey!
