Chords for Doug Kershaw - Cajun Joe

[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ [N] _ _ _ _ Welcome to Music City tonight with Quicken Chase, starring Doug Kershaw, the Letterman,
Katie Hopps, comedian Mike Ivey, and Tareva [C] Henderson.
_ [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I [A#] do believe she can sing anything.
In fact, somebody in the band, I think it was Mark Ivey, one of our singers said the
other day, just when [E] I think she can't sing any better, she does.
I know, from ballads to the up-tempo things.
Tareva's really great.
[G] Doug Kershaw is coming up next.
Are you aware of this?
Now, Louisiana Man, which is a big Cajun-type country song, big hit, he wrote, were you
aware that that was one of the first songs ever to be broadcast in outer space?
The Apollo 12 mission.
It was one of their favorite wake-up songs, and they'd fire [E] that at them from, I guess,
Houston and wake them up.
So, I mean, that's something I guess to put in your record.
Well, he had some music up in [B] space.
He did Hello, Darling.
In fact, he recorded it [E] in Russian for the cosmonauts. That's right.
Yeah, he sure did.
[A#] Country music's hot in space.
This is a song that Doug Kershaw wrote, and I don't [E] know if it was in outer space or not.
It's called Cajun Joe.
Will be.
Once again, [N] Doug Kershaw.

[E] Well, the Cajun Joe [Bm] met him on a loop.
Lord, he whipped on the little one that he should regret.
Was 120 [A#] pounds.
He was 120 pounds, don't [D] get me wet.
[G#] Now, Cajun Joe, he swung a mighty [G#m] blow.
[F#] In for the head, [E] but he swung too [G] low.
[B] Joe got sick for the second blow.
