"The Problem" by J.J. Cale From the album "To Tulsa and Back" Performance notes: True to the laid back "Tulsa Sound" he helped to create, Cale plays slightly behind the beat. This can be accomplished by strumming down and up normally, but accenting the upstroke only. All solos are played over the intro/verse chords, except for the last solo where it passes through the Eb F Bb Ab Eb progression toward the end of it. Intro 2x: Have you heard the news, that's going 'round here The man in charge has got to go Cause he dances 'round, the problem, boy and the problem is the man in charge, you know Now the young knows what, I'm a talkin' 'bout it's a con in the old man's game The man in charge he don't, know what he's doin' He don't know, the world has changed The power seems to be, so far up The man on the street ain't got a clue The high top cats, runnin' your life Thinks the problem is uh, me and you (piano solo) Born in a time, that has gone by The old tell the young what to do Have you heard the news, that's going 'round The problem is the man in charge of you The problem is the man in charge of you (guitar solo) The power seems to be, so far up The man on the street ain't got a clue The high top cats, runnin' your life Thinks the problem is, me and you (guitar solo II).... Have you heard the news, that's a goin' 'round here The man in charge has to go The man in charge has got to go The man in charge got to go
