Verse 1
Am
She blew through town
on the 4th of July
Red one and blue guns a -blazin'
She took no prisoners if
you caught her eye
Men just found her amazing
D
First she gave the teacher
Am
Private lessons more than twice
D
Oh, then she took the preacher
Am
On a three -day trip to paradise
E
They tried to hold and keep her
D
But they never could
Am
E
She's got the girls
Am
Men stood in line
Tried to play in her game
To win her a smile and affection
Some jumped for joy, some went insane
Each time she made a selection
D
Even Bill the banker
Am
always had a heart like ice
Yes he did,
D
well he became a gambling fool
Am
Then she rolled him like a pair of dice
E
He tried to hold and keep her,
D
but he never could,
Am
E
she's got the groove.
Am
Then she was gone,
not a single goodbye,
yeah you could hear men sighing,
there was some
Talk about the FBI
Chasing her down with a lion
D
From Maine to California
Am
From Fairbanks to Miami Beach
D
Oh, now everybody wants her
Am
But she's always just out of reach
E
They'd love to hold and keep her
D
Am
If they only could, she's got the good
E
One time, come on

Verse 2
Am
Once in a while she will drop on the line
Then half the town talks about it
She sends her love and she's doing fine
They all just smile,
D
they don't doubt it
Hearts start beatin' faster
Am
Dreamin' about those magic nights
D
Oh, when they flirted with disaster
Am
And how she made them feel alive
E
In their dreams they hold her
D
Am
Like it never could, she's got the goods

Verse 4
on the 4th of July
Am
Ah, yeah.
I think we've all known a couple like that,
huh? Now we're gonna take a little musical excursion
down the Mississippi River,
G
down into the Delta.
The Delta is the birthplace
of some of America's
greatest blues singers,
Am
including the man who made
this next song famous,
something we recor
Am
ded on our first album,
that certainly goes back a ways.
He was born in the Delta,
McKinley Morgan Field.
Am
He took his music to Chicago,
and from there it went around the world,
Am
and the world got to know and
love him as Muddy Waters.
