Chords for Up on Cripple Creek (Concert Version)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [G] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [A] _ When I get off of this mountain, _ [D] you know where I want to go.
_ _ [A] _ _
Straight down the [D] Mississippi [E] River to the Gulf of Mexico.
_ _ [A] To leave Charlotte, _ Louisiana, a [D] little message girl that I once knew.
_ _ [A] _
She told me [D] just to come on by [E] if there's anything she could do.
_ _ _ [A] Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me a boxed [A] Frangolini.
She invents [E] me, I don't have to speak.
She defends [F#m] me, a drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see one. _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] I've good enough had your strong man, so [D] through the racetrack I did go.
_ _ _ [A] _
I bet [D] on one horse to win it, [E] best bet on another [A] to show.
He _ offered in my favor, you [D] know I had on five to one.
_ _ [A] _
And that man to [D] win, drove around the [E] track being sweet, best they had won.
_ _ [A] _
Up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me a boxed Frangolini.
She invents [E] me, I don't have to speak.
She defends [F#m] me, a drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see one. _
So _ _ _ _ [A] I picked up all of my winning, _ [D] and I gave my little Bessie half.
_ _ [A] _
She tore it up [D] and threw it in my [E] face, just for [F#] a laugh.
_ _ _ [A] Now that just made my heart drop [D] to the bottom of my feet.
_ _ _ [A]
And I swore as [D] I took another pour, [E] my Bessie kept me beat.
Up _ [A] _
on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me a boxed Frangolini.
_ She invents me, [E] I don't have to speak.
She defends me, [F#m] a drunkard's dream, if [G] I ever did see one.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [A] _
I don't [D] know, _ _ [A] _ no no no no [D] no, _ _ _ _ [A] _
don't [D] know, no no no, [A] no no no no.
[D] _ _ _ [A] Well, now me and my mate were back at the shack, we [D] had Spike Jones on the box.
_ _ [A] _
She said I can't take [D] away his Frang, [E] but I love to hear him talk.
[Em] _ _ [A] _ Now there's one thing in the whole world, [D]
I sure do love to see.
_ _ _ [A]
That's not that little [D] sweet thing of mine, [E] but it's a donut in my teeth.
_ _ [A] I'm going up on Cripple Creek, she [D] sends me a boxed Frangolini.
She [E] invents me, I don't have to speak.
She defends [F#m] me, a drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see one.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [A] And I go down in California, _ [D] and up north it's freezing cold.
_ _ [A] And just a minute [D] off of the road, [E] it's getting pretty old.
[B] So [A] I guess I'll call up my big mama, and [D] tell her I'll be rolling in.
_ _ [A] But you know deep down, [D] I'm sort of tempted [E] to go and see my best hand in it.
I'm [A] going up on Cripple Creek, she sends [D] me a boxed Frangolini.
She invents [E] me, I don't have to speak.
She defends [F#m] me, a drunkard's dream, [G] if I ever did see _ one.
