"Born on the Bayou" by CCR - Adam Pearce (Acoustic Cover)

I know I like to rag CCR for being a bunch of California boys singing about growing up in the deep south. I mean, that's the equivalent of me writing surfer songs. but, I do have a ton of respect for everything they've done, and I've always loved their music. I decided to shorten this one up a bit since it gets a little repetitious. Let me know what you think! Rock n' roll!

Lyrics:
When I was just a little boy
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
My Papa said "Son, don't let the man get you
And do what he done to me?
'Cause he'll get you
'Cause he'll get ya now, now"
Well, I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bay
I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Lord, Lord
Wish I were back on the bayou
Rollin' with some Cajun Queen
Wish that I were a fast freight train
A-just a-choogling on down to New Orleans
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou
Do it, do it, do it, do it
I can remember the Fourth of July
Runnin' through the backwood bay
And I can still hear my old hound dog barkin'
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Chasin' down a hoodoo there
Born on the bayou
Born on the bayou, Lord, Lord
Born on the bayou
Alright, do
Do it, do it, do it, do it

I just learned the C7 chord and it got me going on this song. Its E7 I think. But I was watching you play then all of a sudden you turned into Fogarty man. Freaking cool. Weird irony he was born in sunny californa.

I have all the records, CDs and DVDs of them. :-) John Fogerty came just once to Sao Paulo, but I was there. I can say that was one of the best show of my life. Maybe the best was the first first time I went to the KISS concert in the early 80s. I wish I were born on the bayou !! :-) Thanks for this wonderful song !!!!!
