Biography:
Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. In his early years, Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit, 1978's "Baker Street", discusses busking at a tube station and being a part of the street life. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in an obscure outfit known as The Humblebums, he released his first solo album, called 'Can I Have My Money Back', in 1971.

Title: MATTIE'S RAG (Gerry Rafferty)
Dbm Abm
Oh Mattie open up the door
A E
That's right I'm home again
Dbm Abm
You got a big surprise in store
A E
Turn 'round and count to ten
A
Wait till you see what I got you
F#
Wel-ell you'll say it's a magic thing
A
just like _on a mandolin man
B Ab
You just wind him up and he'll start to sing
Dbm Abm
I've been away for quite a while
A E
And I want to hear all your news
Dbm Abm
Speak to me let me see you smile
A E
Cause I've had those home sick blues
A
When I go down to the city
F#
I just don't know wrong from right
A
When I get back to you Mattie well
B Ab
You make me see the light
LEAD
A
Love is a singular thing
F#
It can take you up or bring you down
A
There's, love in the song that I sing
B Ab
So come on now Mattie listen to this sound
Dbm Abm
When you grow up we'll sit and talk
A E
Of how things used to be
Dbm Abm
I'll be your grand old man of rock
A E
With all these memories.
