CAPO 2
C G Am F C
V1
C G Am F
I make a living from a circuit I made
C Am F
Out of trial and error and gigs that I've played
C G Am F
It might be the money or the town that it's in
C G C
But mostly it's people make you come back again
V2
C G Am F
There was one little place that I played every year
C Am F
It's outside of Pittsburgh, I know it's still there
C G Am F
Just a little old Moose lodge, the crowd was okay
C G C
But you'd never get rich from the money they'd pay
CHORUS
Am G F C
It's mostly been silent since Rod was around
Am Em Am F
But that place used to fill with a bluegrassy sound
C G F C
And I'll never forget the way he made me feel
Am G F C
A big man with a big heart, named Rod McNeil
INSTRUMENTAL REPEAT CHORUS
V3
C G Am F
You might arrive tired and dark in a gloom
C Am F
Then he'd buy a big dinner and pay for your room
C G Am F
Pete Rowan would hug him and call him his dad
C G C
that day the lonely road didn’t seem bad
V4
C G Am F
I saw this and said that I'd buy it for Tim,
C Am F
Didn't I Marty, he'd say with a grin
C G Am F
Now I keep that toy fiddle on my window sill
C G C
To remind me of Rod and those grey Pittsburgh hills
INSTRUMENTAL REPEAT V4 AND CHORUS
CHORUS
Am G F C
It's mostly been silent since Rod was around
Am Em Am F
But that place used to fill with a bluegrassy sound
C G F C
And I'll never forget the way he made me feel
Am G F C
A big man with a big heart, named Rod McNeil
