Biography:
John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

G C
I was sittin' in the dressing room with Brownie McGee
Em D
He was drinkin' that milk with that Dewar's Whiskey
G C
Said John, there's nothin' written anywhere, suggests the blues will set you free
Em D G
Old days are comin' back to me
G C
I was ridin' in the back seat, with Sonny Terry
Em D
Little harmonica player used to drive him around, I think his name was Harry
G C
Tried to get him to eat tofu, raw vegetables, nuts, and berries
Em D G
But Sonny wasn't havin' any of it
G C
He let me share a room with 'em for a couple of weeks
Em D
Sonny slept with his good eye open staring out from under the sheets
G C
I was young and uncomfortable, I don't mind tellin' ya kinda gave me the creeps
Em D G
Old days are comin' back to me
G C
Old days are comin' back to me
Em D
Don't know what was so good about 'em, I played practically free
G C
I had nothin' to live up to everywhere to be
Em D G
Old days are comin' back to me
G C
On some dates with Mose Allison somewhere out in the Midwest
Em D
Said some of my lyrics reminded him of the poet Kenneth Patchen I took it as a compliment
G C
He was re- ferring to the line about wearin' neon signs on your wounds, later on, I knew what he meant
Em D G
Old days are comin' back to me
G C
On a date with John Lee Hooker at a packed joint up in Washington
Em D
He came in with a gorgeous woman on each arm as I was singing my song
G C
Walked 'em right up and sat 'em on the edge of the stage as I went singing along
Em D G
And that's called "evenin' son, I'm the headliner"
G C
Old days are comin' back to me
Em D
I don't know what was so great about 'em, I played practically free
G C
But I had nothing to live up to and everywhere to be
Em D G
Old days are comin' back to me
G C
Played a gig with John Hammond Jr. up in Vancouver BC
Em D
Exotic dancer came in my dressing room, started dancing exotically
G C
They were smoking something in the audience that night, smelled exactly like cat pee
Em D G
Old days are comin' back to me
G C
Opened up a gig for Gatemouth Brown down in Baton Rouge
G G
He was playing that Hillbilly, Jazz, Cajun, Country Zydeco, and Blues
G C
Throwin' it out past the walls like some kind of musical centrifuge
Em D G
Old days are comin' back to me
G C
Old days are comin' back to me
Em D
I don't know what was so good about 'em, I played practically free
G C
But I had nothin' to live up to everywhere to be
