Recorded by JT Hodges
(Capo on 4)
Intro.: |(G)|(C)| x 2
I (G)came up river on a gravel (C)barge from New Orleans
She was (G)standing on the cobblestones in a (C)pair of cut-off jeans
I (G)asked what she was doin', she said "(C)Sugar, I'm killin' time"
Then I (G)handed her my wallet and said, "(C)Baby, so am I"
Whistling: |(G)|(C)|(G)|(C)
She (G)said "You might need these" and then (C)handed me her shades
(G)Took me to a barroom darker (C)than the ace of spades
I (G)asked "What's this we're drinkin'? " She said "(C)Call it smokey Blues"
I couldn't (G)tell you what it tasted like, but I (C)know I had a few
(Chorus)
And we (G)danced and we laughed, never (C)talked about tomorrow
We just (G)lived a little in the here and (C)now
With her (G)hands in my hair, like a (C)million magic fingers
She said "(G)Look me up when you get back to (C)town"
"Look you up, " I said, "Hell, I'm gonna (G)hunt you down"
Na na-(C)na-na na na na nah, na na (G)na na na na na nah, hunt you (C)down
She (G)asked where I was comin' from, I (C)said "I'm just comin' round
How 'bout (G)you?" then she drove me to the highest (C)hill in Germantown
"My daddy's (G)money bought the mansion, they threw (C)in the plane for free"
She (G)said, "I can drop you off anywhere or (C)you can stay with me"
Repeat Chorus
Inst.: (with ooh ooh ooh) --- |(C)|(G)|(C)
Last (G)night I saw a falling star dive (C)straight into the river
And I (G)thought about that girl in German-(C)town, I've gotta hunt her down
Repeat Chorus
(C) I'm gonna hunt you (G) down (C)
Na na-(G)na-na na nah, na na (C)na na na na na nah
Na na (G)na na na na na nah, hunt you (C)down.
