Benjamin Booker (born Benjamin Roderick Evans; June 14, 1989) is an American musician, singer, songwriter and guitarist. He cites The Gun Club, Blind Willie Johnson and T. Rex as influences. His music was described by the Chicago Tribune as "a raw brand of blues/boogie/soul,", by The Independent as "frenzied guitar-strumming and raw, soulful vocals that are hair-raising in intensity" and by SPIN as "bright, furious, explosive garage rock."

[CHORUS] A* Saying, "Have you seen my son? D He’s lost in the world somewhere A* I pray for him every day D But I know he ain't seen your ways E* E* (Is he alright?)
A +riff As I got older D It never got any better A I said I’m trying to find some truth in this world D I know there’s things that you won't understand
[SOLO] (?) E* and some higher chords down by the 12th fret. Maybe check a youtube clip?
[VERSE] A +riff We fought all the way from Florida D Down I-10 to New Orleans A I said God must love everyone D Even the ones the Church loves the least
[BRIDGE] E (hold) They say that when a mother loves her child D (hold) Oh, she will do most anything E (hold) I know that I can never make it right D But it's hard to hear you say it
[CHORUS] A* Yeah, "Have you seen my son? D He’s lost in the world somewhere A* I pray for him every day D But I know he ain't seen your ways.
