Brown Sugar

C  G  C  C  F  C x2, Eb    C    Ab Bb C x2 

C

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields

F

Sold in a market down in New Orleans

C

Scared old slaver knows that he’s doing alright

Bb                                                C

Hear him whip the women just around midnight

G                          C    

Brown Sugar, How come you taste so good?   

Brown Sugar, Just like a young girl should

Eb C Ab Bb C 

Drums beating, cold English blood runs high

Lady of the house wondering when its gonna stop

House boy knows that he's doing alright

You should’a heard him just around midnight 

Chorus

INSTRUMENTAL Eb    C     Ab Bb C x4

Oh come on Brown Sugar,  How come you taste so good?   Now

Oh got me feeling Brown Sugar,  Just like a black girl should

Ah, I bet your mamma was a tent show queen

And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen

I’m no school boy but I know what I like

You shoulda heard me just around midnight

Brown Sugar How come you taste so good?   Now

Oh got me feeling Brown Sugar, Just like a black girl should

G            C x1. 

Yeah yeah yeah woo! x4 

More G & C til end
