Tina Turner – Bayou Song (Guitar)

A
Just another Louisiana mornin', Bayou rain fallin' without warnin'

D
Babies cryin'

A
The window's dirty, I can't see out it

A
Sittin' smokin' thinkin' about it

D                     A
Lord I'm so tired (so tired) so tired

E
And I've workin' in the long cold night

G                          D            A
Too tired to sleep and too hungry to fi-i-ight (so tired)

E
Workin' for the man hard as I can

G                               D        A
Tryin' to make a livin' in this Bayou la-a-and (so tired)

G              D                         A
Good Lord what kinda life is this for my baby?

G                  D           A
Bad enough I gotta suffer it myself

G              D                       A
Take our love, take us from this Bayou country

C             D           A              C   D   A      A
Let the bayou bums starve by themselves (hoo-hoo-hoo)

A
Just another Louisiana afternoon, drinkin' homemade liquor two ounce

D
Smooth 'till ya hangin'

A
Don't talk much, 'coz the man's crazy

                           D
Times are hard, thangs are hazy

D                   A      A
Lord, I'm so tired (mmh)

E
To make it in this town you gotta work all over

G                  D       A
When I get home, I start a-all over (got to start all over)

E
Half dead by the end of the night

         G                       D                A
But it's what I gotta do to give my man a good li-i-ife

G              D                         A
Good Lord what kinda life is this for my baby

     G                  D           A
It's bad enough I gotta suffer it myself

G              D                       A
Take our love, take us from this Bayou country

C             D           A
Let the bayou bums starve by themselves

C             D          A                     A
Let the bayou bums drink themselves to hell
