Swamp Music -- by Lynyrd Skynyrd
I figured out the lyrics and chords very quickly on this. The basics of the song sound simple and can be played effectively with an acoustic. The rockin' electric jams are another story however!! Any corrections or flames email me at [email protected]
Chords: E-A-B7
E Goin' down to the swamp, goin watch me a hound dog catch a coon. AE Well I'm goin down to the swamp, goin to watch a hound dog catch a coon. B7A Ya know the hound dog makin music, on a summer night by the light of the E moon. E Ohhh, fetch my cane pole mamma, goin catch a bream or maybe two. AE Lord, fetch my cane pole mamma, goin catch a bream or maybe two. B7E When the hound dogs start barkin', sound like ol'?? singin' the blues.
chorus: Swamp, Swamp, Swamp, Swamp music Swamp, swamp, swamp, swamp music B7AE When the hound dog starts singin', I ain't got them big ol' city blues.
solo
Go ahead pretty mamma, just take that city hike. Said, go'ahead pretty mamma, just take your city hike. Well, I'd rather live with the hound dogs for the rest of my natural born life.
chorus, but add this in the last 2 verses instead:
Well, I'd rather live with the hound dogs, for the rest of my natural born life. Well I want to live with the hound dogs, for the rest of my natural born life. ================================================================== Hobbes "Had I foreseen these events, I East Carolina University Alumni would have preferred to have died C.S.A. at Appomattox."
