- Subject: Re: REQ: "Born on the Bayou" by CCR
-
- Yow! Brings back memories of my bar band days, howling my balls off trying
- to sing that one just like John Fogerty...
-
- As I recall, the intro riff is just arpegggios based on this fingering
- for an E7 chord: x7675x
-
- The chords are basically just E7, with your occasional D -> A change thrown
- in. Lyrics, as best as I can remember 'em 25 years later:
-
- When I was just a little boy
- A-standin' to my daddy's knee
- My papa said, "son, don't let the man getcha
- And do what he done to me"
-
- And I can remember the Fourth of July
- A-runnin' through the backwoods bare
- And I can still hear that old hound dog barkin'
- Chasin' down a hoodoo there
-
- Born on the bayou...
-
- Wish I was back on the bayou
- A-rollin' with some Cajun queen
- Wish I was on a fast freight train
- Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
-
- Classic rock - as opposed to "Classic Rock" - by one of the greatest American
- bands ever...
-
- Andrew
- old fart at play
