s...slide

4 times Verse: chords: A D A I got this good looking woman back home, Let me tell ya, She cooks good and she looks good, And she just can't do no wrong. She cooks my combread in the morning, She's my dinner and my midnight snack, She sits up and she begs, And she even rolls over on her back. Bridge:

Em				 C
Please don't tell me that's the way that it goes

      Bb                  A
Cause I tried hard and I know

Em			C
I ain't been playin' in your back yard,

      Bb		      A
Cause I got my baby and she loves me so.

intro riff again Verse: She don't treat me mean and she loves my machine, yeah. I dig her cause she's funky and she sure keeps it clean, yeah. I'm a loafer she's my chauffeur and she sure likes to drive me, ah ha. I lay my life on the line and she steps up right beside me, yeah. Bridge intro riff again leads A D A A E A (?) over following: I don't have to sing the blues no more A girl like mine is hard to find for sure She lays it on me each and every night She's my pleasure and world's delight D A G A 3 times D A G A D7 Yes you're right, I love Grand Funk...! _________________________________________________________ Corrections, questions, comments and suggestions are | always welcome, just mail me! | ________________________________________________________| "Won't you tell me, where have all the good times gone?"| -Ray Davies, 1965 | ________________________________________________________| "...enjoy a time when rock was still about making music | for fun, not money for corporations." | ________________________________________________________|
