Tom: E
Introdução:
E7
I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,
A7
Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway,
E7 A7
E7
I'll live five years if I take my time,
A7
Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine.
E7 A7
I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom,
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room.
A7 E7
Easy wind cross the Bayou today
A7
Cause there's a whole lotta women, mama,
E7
Out in red on the streets today.
B
And the river keeps a talkin',
A C E
But you never heard a word it said.
