_ _ [Em] Know I love her, know she my desire
_ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] I _ got to [F#m] love her in the morning, I got to love her at night
If I don't love her three times a day, [A] she say I don't do it right
[D] Cause you love, _ _
[A] that woman's a love queen
[Am] That _ [E] woman is so love-crazy, she [Am] make me love her six times a day

[E] _ _ _ [D] Takes you all [A] night long
_ [F#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F] There's a place where everybody migrated [A] from the south
And that was called the Promised Land
If you can get out of Mississippi, Alabama, [A#] and Georgia
To the Promised Land, [C#] you have a better life
You [G] wasn't oppressed [Dm]
as severely as you was [F] in the south
In the south you were under siege
If you [F#m] were black, you were under [Am] siege
So it's about oppression
Around factories and [Am] sawmills, _ _ [A] _ _ baby you'll always see me there _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [C#] _ _ [E] _ _ Around factories [D] and sawmills, _ _ _ _ _ baby you'll [A] always see [Am] me there
_ _ [B] _
_ _ [A] _ _ _ _ Now [E] anytime you need me, baby
_ _ [D] _ _
Ooh, girl, I got to hypnotize
[A] _ Just _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D#] _ _ [E] _ _ [F#m] _ _ [B] my imagination, _ my baby had on a mind
It _ _ was [E] just my imagination, _ my baby had on [B] a mind
_ _ _ _ [F#] She don't [B] think too much about her [E] baby
Thinkin' wrong things [B] all the time
_ _ _ _ [E] _ They call [G] me John Primer
[D] _ _ [B] _ _ _ [G] I'm just a rest house [C#] land in the deep blue sea
_ [G#] _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ Yeah, they [A] call me John [F#] Primer _
[Gm] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#] I'm just [E] a rest house land in the deep blue sea
_ [D] _
_ _ [Em] _ _ [E] _ _ [C#] _ _
[D] _ _ [B] _ _ [B] I've [G#m] been like this
[F#] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] Every [Em] since my baby, [F#] she been gone from [E] me _ _ _
[Am] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ [A] She ain't no wife
She ain't no wife
She serve me [E] in the bed
I keep my nails, she [Am] scratch
I move on my head
[D] She's my baby
She's my baby, she's [A] so good
I _ _ _ _ [E] _ can't call [D] her sugar
_ Sugar never was [A] all _
[D] _ _ [E] Sugar don't get that
[Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
[E] _ _ [E] Even in the [C#] morning I got chills [E] all, _ [D] all in [C#] my [B] eyes _
[D] I've been [C#m] mistreated child, you know I
[E] I [D] don't mind crying, I'm [B] leavin'
_ [A] _ Soon in the morning
_ _ I got chills all
[E] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ I've been [Bm] mistreated
Yeah, [G#m] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m] yeah, I don't [E] mind crying
_ [D] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[G#m] Every living thing is the person, human beings, [G#] animals, _ _
[C#] dogs, cats, babies
They all have blues, they [C#m] cry for things, they cry for [G#m] their mama, we cry for our mama
We cry for food, we cry for everything
Blues [G#] is just a feeling, [C#] it brings out the feeling, it brings people [G#] together
You know like a lot of people can't relate to jazz
A lot of people can't relate to hard rock or rap
And everybody goes through problems
So it's like the universal, the universal music
