() = hold note [Intro] E7 [Verse 1]
E7
Now when I was just a little boy, standin' to my Daddy's knee

E7
My poppa said, "Son, don't let the man get you, do what he done to me

E7
'Cause he'll get you

E7
He'll get you now, now."
[Verse 2]
E7
And I can remember the fourth of July

E7
Runnin' through the backwoods bare

E7
I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'

                            A7
Chasin' down a hoodoo there

E7                          A7 E7
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
[Chorus]
                  A7 E7

Born on the Bayou

Born on the Bayou

E7
Wish I was back on the Bayou

E7
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen

E7
Wishin' I were a fast freight train

E7
Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
[Chorus]
E7
Born on the Bayou

E7
Born on the Bayou

Born on the Bayou

E7
Do it, do it, do it, do it
