Born To Boogie

E E Well my momma met my daddy down in Alabama They tied the knot so here I am A Born on the bayou on the Texas Line E D A E Loved Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya E Now 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 eight years old E When I turned fifteen I was stealing the show. B Money to burn and the girls were pretty E It didn't take me long to learn that I was born to boogie. E When I was eighteen I went to Hollywood I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny B Goode, A Got my guitar painted in the California sun E D A E A red caddilac having to much fun. E Now we were playing them halls and jammin' Then until they moved me on over to M.GM. They said this is the boy we've been telling you about, D A F# He lit a cigar and stuck his hand out. F# He said son have we got a deal for you Gonna make you a star give you fifty thousand too. B I told him my Momma didn't raise no fool. F# B I'll take your money, I'll make you a movie C# But I can tell ya' right now I am born to boogie. E A E F# G# A A# B A# A G E E Well my name is Bocephus I drink whiskey by the gallon And I never back down and I love a good challenge A What I do now is what I did then E D A E I like to get down with all my rowdy friends. E Now I can be sweet and I can be mean I still got my hat and I still wear my jeans A My shades are chromo my guitar is steal E If you think I won't then believe me I will B Get down on you baby because I ain't no rookie E I was put here to party and I was born to boogie E A E A E F# G# A A# B A# A G E
