Hank Williams Jr. "Born To Boogie" chords
Start Jamming...
Well, my mama met my daddy down in Alabama.
They tied the knot, so here I [A] am.
Born on the bayou on the Texas [E] line.
Loved in Louisiana and raised on [D] Jambalaya.
[A] [E]
I'm like a guac.
I had a guitar in my hand.
By the time I could talk, I had my own [A] band.
Went on the road when I was eight years [E] old.
Turned 15, I was stealing the [B] show.
Money to burn and the women were pretty.
[Em] It didn't take me long to learn that I was born to [E] boogie.
[C#m]
[E] When I was 18, I went [B] to Hollywood.
I met Elvis and [E] Marilyn and Johnny B.
Goode.
Got my guitar painted, California sun, a red Cadillac, having too much [D] fun.
[A] [E]
And we were playing in the halls and [B] jamming them and moving on over to MGM.
This is little boy we've been telling you about.
[Em] He lit a cigar and he stuck [D] his hand out.
[A] [F#]
He said, son, have we got a deal for you.
We're going to make you a star and pay you good too.
[B] Doli, my mama didn't raise no [F#] fool.
I'll take your money.
[B] I'll make you a movie.
[C#] I can tell you right now, I was trained to boogie.
[E]
[A]
[B] [G#m]
[E] Yeah, my name is Bo Severs.
I drank a whiskey, bottle a gallon, [G] never backed down.
[C#] And I love a good challenge.
[E] What I do now is what I did then.
I like to get down with all my rowdy friends.
[D]
[A] [E] I can be sweet and I can be mean.
And I wear my hat and I [G] wear blue jeans.
[A] I shaved the chrome, [E] I get tossed steel.
If you think I won't, believe me, I [B] will.
Get down on you, baby, because I ain't no rookie.
I was [Em] put here to party.
[E]
[Bm] [Em]
[E] [A]
