Bruce Cockburn – Mama Just Wants To Barrelhouse (Guitar)

E                    Em9
I was up the road on Easy Street

A7                              D9
Watching everybody stand around and cheat

E    F#m        G#m      C#7#9
Man comes up and says, "Move along,

F#m7                     B9
Back to the corner where you belong"

    A                  B                           E D  E D
But Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.

E                           Em9
I hear the city singing like a siren choir

A7                            D9
Some fool tried to set this town on fire

E    F#m        G#m            C#7                  Em9
T.V. preacher screams "Come on along"

F#m7                           B9
I feel like Faye Wray face to face with King Kong.

    A                  B                         E D9 E D9
But Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.

A                  B                          E D9 E D9
Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.

E                    Em9
Sometimes I wonder what I am

A7                    D9
Feel like I'm living in a hologram

E      F#m       G#m         C#7
Doesn't seem to matter what's right or wrong

F#m7                       B9
Everybody's grabbing and coming on strong

    A                  B                         E D9 E D9
But Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.

   A               B                          E D9 E D9
Mama just wants to barrelhouse all night long.
