Chords for Kristi Guillory performing her original Cajun song Blues A Catin for MusicBox Project

I'm going to play a blues like Caten.
_ Just give you a little background about the term Caten. _
_ Caten is a term of endearment here in Louisiana.
It means doll, _ or like those small little cute women.
This is a Caten. _ _ _
_ And that's a small French term _ _ _ in Louisiana.
That's what it means.
In _ other standard French, _ the modern connotation of Caten.
_ I'm not going to say the standard, but I'm going to say the modern.
Because Louisiana French is really an old French.
_ [E] It dates from _ _ basically [C#] 17th century France, _ and it's isolated here.
So the modern connotation of [B] Caten is prostitute.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ So we named our band, Balspar Caten. _
_ _ It means kind of like goodnight doll, [N] _
goodnight doll. _ _ _ _
It's the first line of an old Amadei Ardouin song.
_ _ It's the original Amadei two-step.
_ [G] _ He sings, he goes,
[C#]
Eh, Balspar [G] Caten,
_ Caten, da, da, da, da,
Eh, Balspar Caten.
So he repeats that over and over again.
That's how we came up with the name for it. _
_ _ Three years ago, I was, _ _ maybe four,
when we were recording our first album with Balspar Caten,
[Bm] _ _ _ I wanted to write a song that _ _ was sort of a tribute to one of my accordion mentors.
His name was Oktak Clark.
And Oktak Clark was a really good friend of my [D#] grandfather's.
They played in a band [C#] together in the Dixie Rainbows. _
_ _ And his [G] style of accordion playing was _ really very [N] creole. _ _ _
_ _ It wasn't, _ _ _ it was a little bluesy.
He [G] loved blues tunes.
That's what he played a lot of.
And real strong on the bass side.
So I wanted to write something that was kind of a,
_ or at least, I think it kind of came out of trying to do what he does.
So I just made up [D#] this completely different song.
It's called The Blues Like Caten.
[D] _ _ _ And the lyrics are very,
_ [D#] these are a lot of stop phrases that you hear in a lot of [C#] Cajun music.
So like the first line [Bm] is,
_ _ _ well, one [D] of the lines is,
Mon aller à grand [E] guédon,
_ j'ai tiré un oncle, c'était juste [C#m] pour se tasser.
_ [G] Oh, ça fait du mal qu'à tel un démois,
j'ai couché dans le poulailler.
[Bm] Which means, I'm [A] going to grey don't,
[D#] because I shot somebody [G] for five [E] cents.
And oh, [B] it hurts my heart to see myself [C#] sleep in a chicken coop.
