Chord Organ Blues Lyrics

Everything's big in Texas
You know it is
I think I might have made a big mistake o o o

Chord organ blues
Chord organ blues
Singin' those chord organ blues

Wherever I go it's a wild wind
Maybe someday it'll blow me back home again
Chord organ blues
Chord organ blues
Singin' those chord organ blues

For every chord that is played
There is a word in my heart that has paid
'Cause my soul loves music
And it loves to hear it made
Singin' those chord organ blues

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

It's about when Dan moved in with his brother and recorded Yip/Jump Music in his bro's garage. Daniel discovered the chord organ in his brother's garage and it's used on most of the songs on that album.

The lyrics on here for that last part are wrong. What he says is

"For every chord that is played there's a reward in my heart that is paid. Because my soul loves music, and it loves to hear it made"
