[Verse]
G
I was headed to the show
Am
Goin' uptown to the Apollo
C G
Get me a glimpse of ol' Jimmy Brown
G
Someone told me that he had just died
Am
I lowered my head, and I started to cry
C G D
Stood on 125th Street, and I said, "Well sing it loud. I'm black and proud."
[Chorus]
G Am
Oh, my baby, settle in
C G
Take your worries and put fire to them
G Am
Pour me out just like sour wine
C G
Got the money if you got the time
[Instrumental]
G Am C G C
[Verse]
G
I was talkin' to truck stop Betty
Am
She was wringin' her hands, and they was awfully sweaty
C G
She said her mother died in Brooklyn just yesterday
G
Well I said Betty, just hold your horses
Am
Soon they're gonna be changin' courses
C G
We can live out on the Montana range -
D
It's a great place to raise the kids
[Chorus]
G Am
Oh, my baby, settle in
C G
Take your worries and put fire to them
G Am
Pour me out just like sour wine
C G
Got the money so you'll be all right
[Instrumental]
G Am C G C
G Am C G C
[Chorus]
G Am
Oh, my baby, settle right on in
C G
Take your worries and put fire to them
G Am
Pour me out just like sour wine
C G
I got the money if you got the time
[Chorus]
G Am
Oh, my baby, settle right on in
C G
Take your worries and put fire to them
G Am
Pour me out just like sour wine
C G
I got the money so you'll - you'll be all right
You're gonna' be just fine
