[Intro]
D G D G
[Verse 1]
D G
I was in a country band in the 1970s
D Bm7 A
One night we had a flat on the van, on the way out to Tennessee
D G
Asked an old mechanic, name of Johnson, for some air
A G D G
And everybody called him "Socrates"
[Verse 2]
D
"Hey. What's goin' on?"
G
"Not much of nothin'. How 'bout you?"
D Bm7 A G
And that's the way it's done in our hometown
D G
He could talk a stream of nonsense, just as pretty as you please
A G D
And everybody called him "Socrates"
[Verse 3]
G D G
But he said, "Fame and fortune are easily confused, as are luck and destiny
D Bm7 A
Are you bein' loved, boys, or bein' used? Runnin' wild or bein' free?"
G D G
He said, "The answers to your questions are more questions such as these."
A G D
And everybody called him "Socrates"
[Guitar Solo]
D G Em7 A D G Em7 D
[Verse 4]
D G
I got to know him well, I even worked with him a while
D Bm7 A G
He had an old guitar we'd pass around once in a while
D G
I never will forget the last few words he said to me
A G D
When I finally quit old Socrates
[Bridge]
F#m G Em7 A
"Do you know what you are capable of knowing?
F#m G Em7
Do your hands, son, ever touch the soil?
A F#m G Em7 A
And do you love all that you are capable of lovin'?
Bm A G
And do you want me to check that oil?"
A G D G
Everybody called him "Socrates"
[Verse 5]
D
Yeah, the Christians found him crazy
G
And the derelicts agreed
A G
But everybody called him
A G
Everybody called him
A G
Everybody called him
D
"Socrates"
