Born To Boogie
Hank Williams, Jr.
Intro: E
Verse 1
E
Well my momma met my daddy down in Alabama
They tied the knot so here I am
A
Born on the bayou on the Texas Line
E                                        D A E  
Loved Louisiana and raised on Jambalaya 

Verse 2
E
Now before I could walk I had a guitar in my hand
By the time I could talk I had my own band,
A
Went on the road when I was eight years old
       E
When I turned fifteen I was stealing the show.
B
Money to burn and the girls were pretty
   E
It didn't take me long to learn that I was born to boogie.

Verse 3
E
When I was eighteen I went to Hollywood
I met Elvis, Marilyn and Johnny B. Goode,
       A
Got my guitar painted in the California sun
  E                                D A E
A red cadillac having to much fun.

Verse 4
E
Now we were playing them halls and jammin'
Then until they moved me on over to M.G.M.
They said this is the boy we've been telling you about,
                                       D A F#
He lit a cigar and stuck his hand out.

Verse 5
F#
He said son have we got a deal for you
Gonna make you a star give you fifty thousand too.
  B
I told him my Momma didn't raise no fool.
F#                    B
I'll take your money, I'll make you a movie
    C#
But I can tell ya' right now I am born to boogie.
Solo:E A E F# G# A--A# B A# A G E
Verse 6
E
Well my name is Bocephus I drink whiskey by the gallon
And I never back down and I love a good challenge
A
What I do now is what I did then
E                                             D A E
I like to get down with all my rowdy friends.

Verse 7
E
Now I can be sweet and I can be mean
I still got my hat and I still wear my jeans
   A
My shades are chromo my guitar is steal
   E
If you think I won't then believe me I will
    B
Get down on you baby because I ain't no rookie
      E
I was put here to party and I was born to boogie
