Intro: (C5)  (C5)  (C5)  (C5)

(C5) Next to Lousiana on the Texas side
There's a (C5) little country joint where they let it ride
There's a (C5) boogie woogie man on the piano
And all the (G5) backwoods boppers shoutin' (C5) go cat go

   They've (F) never been afraid of the (C) Boogie Man
   Nothin' (G) makes you feel better than the (C) boogie woogie can
   So (F) don't you be afraid of the (C) Boogie Man
   He'll take you (D) down to New Orleans
   Where that (G) rhythm all began
   So (F) don't you
   (G) Don't you be afraid of the Boogie (C) Man

(C5) Grandpa's in the corner in his fishing clothes
(C5) Reeling to the rhythm everywhere it goes
All the (C5) boogie woogie babies tearing up the floor
When they (G5) get a little bit, they want a (C5) little more

   They've (F) never been afraid of the (C) Boogie Man
   Nothin' (G) makes you feel better than the (C) boogie woogie can
   So (F) don't you be afraid of the (C) Boogie Man
   He'll take you (D) down to New Orleans
   Where that (G) rhythm all began
   So (F) don't you
   (G) Don't you be afraid of the Boogie (C) Man

In a (C5) red El Dorado at the break of day
That (C5) Boogie Woogie man will be slipping away
Althought you're (C5) never gonna know it when he's out of sight
He'll shut a (G5) juke box down again tom(C5)orrow night

   They've (F) never been afraid of the (C) Boogie Man
   Nothin' (G) makes you feel better than the (C) boogie woogie can
   So (F) don't you be afraid of the (C) Boogie Man
   He'll take you (D) down to New Orleans
   Where that (G) rhythm all began
   It (F) works for me, it'll (C) work for you
   He'll have you (D) doing things
   That you (G) didn't know you knew
   So (F) don't you 
   (G) Don't you be afraid
   Now (F) don't ya
   (G) Don't you be afraid of the (C5) Boogie Man
