If that diamond ring _ _ _ _ _ _ don't shine, _ _ he gonna take it to a private eye. _ _
_ If that private eye can't see, _ _ _ he gonna take it to ring of police. _

_ Bo dilly, my baby bear cat, _ _ _ make a pretty baby out of Sunday hat. _
_ _ Bo dilly, my baby nanny goat, _ _ _ make a pretty baby out of Sunday coat. _

Won't you come to my house with black cap on, _ _ take my baby all away from home. _ _ _ _
Ugly old mojo, where you been? _ _ _
I'll be your house and home again. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Bo dilly, bo dilly, I love you.
_ _ _ Bo dilly, bo dilly, it is true. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ I saw _ _ Bo diddly the first time I saw him.
He was playing in Philadelphia.
And he was opening for 10 years after.
And I was thinking,
are these youngsters gonna dig Bo diddly?
Are they, you know, this [F#m]
hippie crowd?
Are they gonna go for Bo's thing?
He came out on the stage and he looks at the crowd.
He sees everybody with the long hair and tie-dye shirts.
_ _ _ And, you know, he's looking at everybody.
And he always looked at people kind of suspiciously.
You know, he was that way.
He was a little defensive, a little like edging his way
and looking and saying, I don't know, man.
And he goes like this.
He goes.
_ _ [N] _ _
And the place went crazy.
_ And he goes, I'm Bo diddly.
I said, yes.
And he was there 10 years after.
And just paddled ourselves home.
_ And he led off with that song, Bo diddly.
That's the first time in my life I ever led off with Bo diddly.
Because you guys reminded me of that when I walked out here with the thing.
I said, I gotta do it, man.
I gotta live it.
[E] So bear with me.
_ _ _ _ You asked me to come here.
_ You know, you wanted me, you got me.
All of it.
I wanted to show you _ my right-hand man, my man riding shotgun,
and I'm watching my back.
This is Jim Shotgun-Souler from Dallas, Texas.
And if you want to hear some [G#] guitar, this is the man.
