Start Jamming...
[N]
Well, my mama met my daddy down in Alabama.
They tied the knot, so here I am.
[A] Born on the bayou on the Texas [E] line.
Loved in Louisiana, raised on [D] Jambalaya.
[A] [E]
Elsewhere [Em] I could walk.
I had a guitar in my hand.
By the time I could talk, I had my own [A] band.
I went on the road when I was eight years [Em] old.
When I turned 15, I was stealing the show.
[Bm] Honey to burn, and the girls were pretty.
Didn't take [E] me long to learn that I was born good.
When I was 18, I went to Hollywood.
[Em] I met an Elvis from Maryland.
Johnny B.
Goode.
[A] Got me a guitar, a pain, and dancing California sun.
A red [E] Cadillac, having too much [D] fun.
[A] [E]
Now we were playing them halls and jamming [Em] them,
and we moved it on over to MGM.
[E] They said, this is the boy we've been telling you about.
He lit a cigarette and stuck his hand [D] out.
[A] [F#]
[A] He said, son, have we got a deal for you.
I'm going to make you a star, [F#] give you 50,000 [B] tunes.
I told him, mom, mama didn't raise no [F#] fool.
I'll take your [B] money.
I'll make you a movie.
I can tell you right now, I was [E] born to boogie man.
[A]
[Em] [E]
What my name is, Quote Seagulls.
I drink a whiskey by the [G] gallon,
and I never back [Bm] down, and I love a good challenge.
[A] What I do now is what I did [Em] then.
I like to get down with all my riding [D] friends.
[E] Now I can be sweet, and I can be mean.
Still got my hat, and I still wear my [A] jeans.
My shades are chrome.
My guitar's [Em] steel.
If you think I won't, then believe me, I [Bm] will.
Get down on you, baby, because I ain't no rookie.
[E] I'll put it apart, and I was born to [Em] boogie.
[A] [E]
