[Verse 2]
Yeah! I was [D]living in St. Louis

Papa worked [A]all week long,
[G]Tryin' to keep us six kids ali[D]ve.[G][D][G][A]

[Verse 3]
So I [D]hitch hiked to Chicago
Just to hear Muddy Waters play
I sat and listene[G]d to him sing
Until the early hours [D]of day
I asked [A]him what I could do to make it
[G]And it was he who showed me
the [D]way

[Verse 4]
I went back [D]home and wrote a song
[G]And made a record I could cla[D]im
The little tun[G]e jumped on the charts
And rode me right on up to [D]fame
It netted over [A]ten thousand dollars
[G]And added glory to my name
[D]

[Verse 5]
[A]
I was stand[D]ing at the airport
With my gui[Dm]tar in my h[D]and
And a first [G]class ticket
Destination movie [D]land
I will be [A]in Hollywood, Mama
Before [D]the roost[G]ers crow again

[Verse 6]
When [D]I first started playing music
Over sixteen years ago
[G]Every big town in the country
From St. Francisco to Baltimore
[D]Trying to [A]bring some happy hours
[G]Doing the only thing I kno[D]w[A]

[Verse 7]
Can [A]help it, [D]but I love it
[G]Stand here, sing [D]to you
Brings back [G]so many memories
Many things we used to [D]do
I'll I see [A]you here [G]again
Take care, good luck to [D]you
