Chords for B.B. King - Caldonia ( Live by Request, 2003 )

his guitar Lucille.
Now I heard you say earlier someone said how many Lucille's
do you have and you said 16.
Now for we older [Eb] fans we've heard this story before
but if you look around out here there a lot of young fans.
Where did Lucille
come from for the young fans who may not know?
Give [F] me a little talking music guys. _
[Ab] _ I can [Eb] do it?
You can do it.
Okay.
[Db] Back in 1949 [B] I used to play a [G] place, keep it down,
[C] used to play, oh [Abm] god I can't hear so good anyway, [B] I used to play a place out in
Arkansas [Db] a place called Twist, Arkansas.
There is such a place and I used to play
[F] that quite often [G] when I had no other place to play and most times I [Eb] didn't
but it got quite cold there in [C] winter so they used to take something like [Ebm] a big
[Bb] garbage pail and half fill it with kerosene.
[Bb] They would set that out [B] in the
middle of the floor [G] and half fill it [C] with kerosene I should say and light
that [Db] fuel and that's what we use for heat.
[F] Everybody dancing would dance
around it [G] but one night two guys start [C] to fight.
I'm glad they don't do that [Eb] in
New York.
_ [Db]
Two guys start to fight one knocked the other one over on this
[Ab] container and when that [Eb] container spilled it [Bb] was already burning so [Bb] it
looked like a river of fire.
Everybody [Db] start to run for the front door because
the back door was [Bbm] nailed up, [Db] keep people from sneaking in.
Everybody ran for the
[C] front door including B.B. King.
_ [E] When I got on the outside then [C] I realized that I
left my [G] guitar and I went back for it.
[Eb] When I did the building was burning
rapidly and [Db] when [Gb] I went back in it started [Eb] to collapse around me and I
almost [G] lost my life trying to save my guitar [G] but I did.
[Eb] Next morning we found
that these two guys was fighting, was fighting about a [Ab] lady.
I never did meet
the lady [Eb] but I learned that her name was Lucille.
[F] I named my guitar Lucille to
remind me never [E] to do a thing like that again.
_ [Eb] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [C] _ _
And that's the [N] story of Lucille. _ _
Let me go to the phone one thing I want to mention though isn't it great when he
says give me a little [B] talking music he gets talking music I like that.
Let's go
to the phones another request you're talking to B.B. King from El Paso Texas

Hope.
Say hi to B.B. Hope.
Hi Mr.
King.
Hello Miss Hope.
Oh I'm so
thrilled to be talking to you you can't imagine I this is this God if I die now
take me now I'm ready.
[B] _ _ _ [Bm] Thank you very much.
I got to hear you play live at the
Pan [Bb] American Center right outside of El Paso Texas in Las Cruces New Mexico and
that was a thrill for me.
I have lupus and I don't get to go out much and I get
ill very often so when I knew you were going to be there I had to go I just had
to go if I would have had to crawl I would have crawled and now to hear you
and to be speaking to you live [N] you don't know what this means to me I haven't
been feeling well today and God I'm on cloud nine right now I'm on cloud nine
speaking to the king of the blues.
Thank you.
What would you like to hear tonight?
I'd like to hear a feel-good song to make me feel good [Bb] just by speaking to
the wonderful great Mr.
King Caldonia.
[N] Caldonia!
Thank you Hope.
