Verse 1
(G major) We can stand naked on the (B minor) corner of Main (G major) Street,
baby,
and, uh, let everybody slow down
and, uh, take a look.
(C major) Or you can drive your (E minor) Ca dillac to the (G major) library,
baby,
and maybe (C major) rip the, uh,
last ten pages (E minor) out of an Agatha Christie (G major) book. (C major)
(G major) You can feed my cat to my dog,
(D major) and turn around (G major) and feed
my dog to my horse. (D major) (G major)
(B flat major) You can screw the (D minor) whole damn royal fam (F major) ily,
baby, until (B flat major) they, all (D minor) get divorced. (F major) (B flat major)
(F major) Well, baby, baby, (E flat major) baby, baby, (C sharp major) baby,
you can do anything you
want to (E flat major) do, baby,
and I swear (D major) it won't bother me,
(B flat major) because baby, you know, (C major) baby,
you know you got to, you got to,
you got (C sharp major) to be what you're going to be.
(G major) You can burn down the orphan (D major) age, baby,
over there (G major) on the, uh, poor side of town. (D major) (G major)
(C major) You can go to the circus, baby,
frighten (G major) the elephants,
see if you can (C major) get them to,
maybe, uh, trample (E minor) a clown. (G major) (C major)
(G major) You can steal the prize out of my box of (D major) cereal,
baby,
(G major) and replace it with a rat. (D major)
(G major) Then (B flat major) you can walk up to (D minor) someone
who might be a little over (F major) weight,
be kind of sensitive (B flat major) about it and say,
Oh my god, (D minor) you're (F major) really fat. (B flat major)
(F major) Living the lit baby, (E flat major) that's the corner (A flat major) stone,
the very essence (E flat major) of my philosophy,
(D major) and baby, you (B flat major) know, you know,
(C major) got to, you got to,
you got to be what you going (C sharp major) to be.
(G major) I'm gonna pay my harmonica.
Since I charged 35 a note,
(D major) I'm not going to (C major) play much
of my harmonica.
You see, (E minor) the blues,
the (G major) blues isn't an art (C major) form,
it's not a type of music.
The blues (E minor) is a product,
(G major) not unlike computer (C major) chips or tampon (G major) s.
The blues is a way for white kid (D major) s to feel that they under
(G major) stand the feelings of black people
without ever actually
having to (D major) meet any. (G major)
(B flat major) The blues is (D minor) all these things and more,
(F major) available (G major) from 1995. (B flat major) (D minor) (F major)
Oh, baby, baby,
(E flat major) you do whatever you want to do, (A flat major) baby
Baby, you know (E flat major) it's not gonna bother me
(A minor) But, baby, you know,
(B flat major) you know you gotta, (C major) you gotta
Be what (C sharp major) you're going to be
Here comes (G major) the solo (D major) (G major)
(D major) Oh, what a so (G major) lo it is (C major)
(E minor) You (G major) know, that (C major) might not be the blues
But it sure (E minor) makes me sad (G major) (D major)
(G major) Listen, in the distance,
the (D major) sound of Red Belly rolling
(G major) in his grave. (B flat major) (D minor) (F major) (B flat major) (D minor) (F major)
I said it before, baby, (E flat major) I'll say it again,
live (A flat major) and let live, the very (E flat major) edge, the cornerstone,
(A minor) the summit of my velo (B flat major) city, baby, baby, (C major) you know,
baby, you know, you gotta, you gotta me
(C sharp major) what you're going to be (D major)
(G major) a blues man needs a (D major) nickname
and (G major) everybody calls me two shoes
because i always wear two shoes
i know it's not much of a nick (C major) name
but by the time (E minor) i got around
to getting my (G major) nickname
all the (C major) good ones have been taken take
for example blind lem (G major) on lipshits
blind (C major) lemon lipshit (G major) s
gouged out his own eyes
with his thumbnails
So he could be called Broom Lemon
(D major) It's (G major) true, don't it? (B flat major) (D minor) He (F major) felt the
very essence (B flat major) of the blues
Calling him from within
(D minor) An (F major) d he felt that contract (B flat major) too
Oh (F major) baby, baby you (E flat major) know
Baby you know (A flat major) you can do
whatever you do
(E flat major) I don't care, I don't give
(D major) a damn baby
It's not gonna (B flat major) bother me
Yes baby (C major) ba ba ba ba
ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
You gotta, (C sharp major) you gotta, you gotta
You gotta be, you gotta be
what you gonna (G major) be
