[Intro]
E
Lord have mercy
A E B A E B
Gotta tell it, tell it just like it is, every word

Yeah, I was living in St. Louis

In the year of 1955

Mama didn't have no great mansion
E
Just a little old country dive
B
Papa worked all week long
A E B
Try to keep us six kids alive

[Verse 2]
E
So I hitchhiked to Chicago
E
Just to hear Muddy Waters play
A
I sat and listened to him sing
E
Until the early hours of day
B
I asked him what I could do to make it
A E B
And it was he who showed me the way

[Guitar Solo]
E A E A E B A E B

[Verse 3]
E
I went back home and wrote a song
A E
And made a record I could claim
A
The little tune jumped on the charts
E
And rode me right on up to fame
B
It netted over ten thousand dollars
A E B
And added glory to my name

[Verse 4]
E
I was standing at the airport
E
With my guitar in my hand
A
And a first class ticket
