James Brown - You Got To Have A Mother For Me chords
Start Jamming...
One, two, one, two, three, climb!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
[Ebm] Some like the show, and some like the talk
Some like the belt, skinny legs and all
And I'm the one, you know that you're proud
See, you've got to have a mother for me
When I was all alone, I had a secret
Lord, I was gone, somebody jumped me
And said, now I see what you're doing
Just stay ahead of me, and I said, what are you saying?
And when I'm home loving her, my mother, she has the hair
You see, all right, you've got to have a mother for me
[Eb]
[Db] [Ab] You see, you've got to have a mother for me
When you're what?
[Eb] You see, you're all grown [D] up
[Ebm]
If you're darling for this, she'll be darling
That's all right, you, if you've got that question mark
Look at you, you can't have everything going, you've got to have
If you've got a mother, baby, you know you can't [Ab] take her [Ebm] home
See, you've got to have a mother for me
One more thing, you're the funny one, call us
We're going to do the horse, show everybody where you're at
And I know you've got to be born
So when you start doing your little thing, stop in the small ring
It's like baby, James Brown is going to do his thing
You see, you've got to have a mother for me
[Gbm] [Ebm] You're high as a seat, still all right, you're slipping me
I was like, what's wrong [Bb] with you?
When you're what?
When you're fast, you see, you've got to have a mother for me
Hey, hey, hey,
[Am] [Db] [Ab] hey, who are ya?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Manny!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
[Db] [Ebm] [Eb]
[Ebm] hey
It's a shame that you're gone
You're high as a seat, still all right, you're slipping me
I was like, [Bb]
what's wrong with you?
When you're fast, you see, [Ebm] you've got to have a mother for me
First time, [G] I was all [Bb] alone, had a secret baby, thought I was gone.
Somebody jerked me, and said, [Ab] now I see, what you doing [Bb] brother, stay ahead of me.
Are you sad?
When I want my lovin', I'm always got to have her.
I said [Ab] when I want my [Ebm] lovin', when I want my lovin', when I, when [Am] I, when I, when [Ebm] I, when I, yeah.
