Chords

[Intro] | E | E | E | E | [Verse 1]
        E
We were just a plain old hillbilly band with a plain old country style

                                         F#            B7
We never played the kind of songs that'd drive anybody wild

         E
Played a railroad song with a stompin' beat

            A
We played a blues song, kinda slow and sweet

        F#                                                B7
But the thing that knocked 'em off of their feet was, hoo-wee
[Chorus]
     E
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie

E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie

A
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie

E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie in the

B7                E
Strangest kind of way... Play it strange!
[Guitar Solo] | E | E | E | E | | A | A | A | A | | E | E | E | E | | B7 | B7 | E | E | [Verse 2]
         E
Well, we did our best to entertain ev'rywhere we'd go

                                    F#               B7
We'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show

         E
Played a jumpin' jive to make 'em get in a groove

          A
We played sad songs real slow and smooth

        F#                                           B7
But the only thing that would make 'em move was, hoo-wee
[Chorus]
     E
When Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie

E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie

A
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie woogie

E
Luther played the boogie woogie, Luther played the boogie in the

B7                E
Strangest kind of way
[Guitar Solo] | E | E | E | E | | A | A | A | A | | E | E | E | E | N.C. Now, didn't Luther play the boogie strange? [Outro] B7 E
