E7                                              D   A
I don't know why I love you like I do
After all the changes you been putting me through
You took my money and my cigarettes
I haven’t seen the worst of it                                                 
C                         G            D         A  A7      
I wanna know, can you tell me why won’t you stay
                E7       D A          E7                    D A  
Take me to the river,           Drop me in the water 
E7                     D A            E7                    D A  
Take me to the river.                   Dip me in the water     Washing me down
E7                     D A  
Washing me down

I don't know why you treated me so bad
Think about the  things we could have had
Love is emotion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret
C                         G            D         A  A7
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay

chorus
Push me to the river.                   Dip me in the water     Washing me down
E7              C#m            A              C#m          A                D              
Washing me      Hold me Love me Please me  tease me     Til I Can’t Til I Can’t
[Solo] 

I don't know why I love you like I do
After the changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burn on my wall
Then tell me who is the biggest fool of them all
Oh wanna know, can you tell me I'd love to stay      
[Chorus]

It's a gas gas gas

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled
I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread, yeah, yeah, yeah 
I was crowned with a spike right thru my head
But it's all right now, in fact it's a gas
But it's all right, I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
It's a gas gas gas

Jumping Jack Flash, it's a gas 4x

Born On The Bayou

Posted on November 14, 2015November 18, 2015 by admin

Coversong originally made famous by Creedence Clearwater Revival
Written by John Fogerty

LYRICS
Now when I was just a little boy standin’ to my Daddy’s knee
My Poppa said son don’t let the man get you do what he done to me
‘Cause he’ll get you ’cause he’ll get you now now.

I can remember the fourth of July runnin’ through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin’ chasin’ down a hoodoo there
Chasin’ down a hoodoo there.

[Chorus]
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou.

Wish I was back on the bayou rollin’ with some Cajun Queen.
Wishin’ I were a freight train, oh, just a-chooglin’ on down to New Orleans.

[Chorus]

I can remember the fourth of July, runnin’ through the backwood bare.
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin’, chasin’ down a hoodoo there,
Chasin’ down a hoodoo there.

[Chorus]

I'm so scared in case I fall off my chair

Clowns to the left of me

The second verse is: 

Yes I'm stuck in the middle with you 
And I'm wondering what it is I should do 
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face 
Losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place 
Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right 
Here I am, Stuck in the middle with you.

Well you started out with nothing and you're proud that you're a

Please....     Please.....

Cause I don't think that I can take anymore 
Clowns...

Who Are You II.mp3

E   D   A    A   E    A  E
Who are you, who who, who who   X 4

        I woke up in the Soho bar when a policeman knew my name. He said,
         E                   D             A                         C G
        "You can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away."

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

[chorus:]
Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccuped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

[chorus]

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still receive your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this?

LYRICS AND CHORDS

Am                   G              Am      G  Am
Little by little the night turns around,

Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

Dm                   C          Dm          C  Dm
Lotus's lean on each other in yearning,

Am               G              Am
Over the hills a swallow is resting

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun

Am                 G                 Am     G  Am
Over the mountains watching the watcher,

                      G               Am    G  Am
Breaking the darkness waking the grapevine

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Knowledge of love is knowledge of shadow,

Am                      G            Am
Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

                         G             Am   G  Am  G  Am
Set the controls for the heart of the sun,

Am
The heart of the sun,  The heart of the sun...

Am                    G            Am       G  Am
Witness the man who waves at the wall,

                        G               Am  G  Am
Making the shape of his questions to heaven

Dm                   C               Dm     C  Dm
Whether the sun will fall in the evening,

Am                   G            Am
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

G  Am  F  Am  F  Am

I think I'm sophisticated cos I'm living my life like a good Homosapien
    A                                                 
But all around me everybody's multiplying

Till they're walkin' round like flies man

So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo man

Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees I am an ape man

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man

Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky

Compared to the clouds as they roll by

BRIDGE:

In man's evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble
A                                             E
But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
         D                                 A
Cos the only time that I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
                            E              A      RIFF 1
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man

I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man
I look out my window, but I can't see the sky
The air pollution is a-foggin' up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man

Ah come and love me,   be my ape man girl
                  E                A   
And we will be so happy    in my ape man world

CHORUS #3:
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane
I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
Just like an ape man   RIFF 1

CHORUS #4:
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man
I don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war                           
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

LYRICS
I went to a blues festival
But, it was too sad
Then, I saw some heavy metal
They were too, too mad

May the music move you
Any which way
May the music move you
Every which way
So long as you are grooved

When I went to see some county
It was paved over
Then I went to see classic rock
It was a poor pour [Fab-4] cover (let it flow)

May the music move you
Any which way
May the music move you
Every which way
So long as you are grooved

ABOUT THE SONG
E / A / G / E
E / D

Written and recorded in Paoli, PA and West Chester, PA on October 6, 2012. I stared thinking about the term BluesFest. It kind-of felt like an oxymoron. Ya, know… “Festival Of Sadness”. So, it’s a tongue-in-cheek song about music moving people. Whatever music moves you, may you be moved. In fact, when it’s all said and done… I hope you are grooved from the experience.
