Born on the Bayou
Creedence Clearwater
 
E7 E\E7 E\E7 E\E7 E\E7 4x
 
     E7        E      E7
Now, when I was just a little boy
E7            E       E7
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
   E7          E          E7
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you an'
E7        E       E7
Do what he done to me"
 E7         E7
'Cause he'll get you
 E7                 E7
'Cause he'll get you mama
 
    E7     E          E7
And I can remember the fourth of July
E7                 E         E7  D A
Runnin' through the backwood, bare
    E7                     E         E7
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
E7            E      E7  D A
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
E7            E      E7  D A
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
 
E7         E E7 D A
Born on the bayou 
E7         E E7 D A
Born on the bayou 
E7         E E7 D A
Born on the bayou 

BREAK
 
E7        E           E7
Wish I was back on the bayou
E7               E     E7
Rollin' with some Cajun queen
E7              E            E7
Wishin' I were a fast freight train
       E7          E       E7
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
 
E7         E E7 D A
Born on the bayou 
E7         E E7 D A
Born on the bayou 
E7         E E7 D A
Born on the bayou
