Born To Boogie

E First E Well, my momma met my daddy down in Alabam' They tied the knot so here I am A Born in the bayou on the Texas line E Loved in Lousiana, raised on Jambalaya D A E Second E Well, before I could walk I had a guitar in my hand By the time I could talk I had my own band A Went on the road when I was 8 years old E When I turned 15 I was stealin' the show B I had money to burn and the girls were pretty E Didnt take me long to learn that I was born to boogie E Third E When I was 18 I went to hollywood I met Elvis and Marilyn and Johnny B Goode A I got my guitar painted with the California sun E Had a red Cadillac havin too much fun D A E Fourth E Well, we were playin them halls and jammin then we moved it on over to MGM A He said this is the boy weve been tellin you about E He lit a cigar and he stuck his hand out Break (and key change): D A F# Fifth F# He said son have we got a deal for you Were gonna make you a star and give you 50,000 too!
