I make no apologies whatsoever for submitting yet another Creedence tab, as far as I'm concerned JF was a genius - if you disagree feel free to go elsewhere.

Omit the first note – the open D string – and repeat 3 times
(E7)Now when I was just a little boy,
Standin' to my daddy's knee),(E7/Esus2/E7)
My papa said, “Son, don't let the man get ya,
And do what he done to me,(E7/Esus2/E7)
Cause he'll get ya
Cause he'll get ya now
And I can remember the fourth of July,
Runnin' through the backwoods bare,(E7/Esus2/E7)
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there(D/A/E7)
Chasin' down a hoodoo there(D/A/E7)
Born on the Bayou(D/A/E7)
Born on the Bayou(D/A/E7)
Born on the Bayou(D/A/E7)
(guitar solo here……
(Audience participation time – anyone wants to chip in with the solo, please feel free to do so)
After solo, repeat intro
Wish I was back on the bayou,
Rollin' with some Cajun queen,(E7/Esus2/E7)
Wishin' I were a fast freight train,
Just a chooglin' on down to New Orleans,(E7/Esus2/E7)
Born on the Bayou,(E7/Esus2/E7/Esus2/E7)
Born on the Bayou,(E7/Esus2/E7/Esus2/E7)
Born on the Bayou,(E7/Esus2/E7/Esus2/E7)
OK, OK, I'll try something different next time. Perhaps "Almost Saturday Night" or "Eye of the Zombie" or "Centerfield"...............
Your turn Wes...............
Oh, and a BIG thank-you to Grim for the template!!!!
Nice a few more songs and I'll be able to play most of th CCR cd I have. :D (Greatest hits)
One thing I alwyas liked about CCR and the Eagles was the fact they did a lot of rocking on acoustic guitars. :)
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming -- "WOW--What a Ride!"
Noteboat & Promedics have informed me that what I thought was an Esus2 chord is actually an Eadd9 - thanks guys.
Yeah twisty, I love the Eagles too - and have you ever noticed on a lot of Stones tracks (Brown Sugar springs immediately to mind) there's an acoustic or two strumming merrily away in the background filling out the sound?
Awesome song Vic
You just keep the CCR coming.
If you know something better than Rock and Roll, I'd like to hear it - Jerry Lee Lewis
