Lotsa E to E7th thru the whole song. Intro: E g# e d g# e d g# e d g# e d
E7 D A
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 an' do what he done to me"
'Cause he'll get you. 'Cause he'll get you mama
And 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 D A
E7 D A E7 D A
Born on the bayou Born on the bayou
E7 D A E ...
Born on the bayou
Instrumental (lotsa E then D A E x 12)
Wish I was back on the bayou Rollin' with some Cajun queen
Wishin' I were a fast freight train Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans
Chorus
And 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
