Chords for Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives - Luther's Boogie (The Marty Stuart Show)

_ _ I love Saturday night.
Me and Roy, Roy told me one time,
Saturday night's the best night
because it's the night of country music.
And I grew up watching country music down in Mississippi
and some of my heroes, of course,
were Buck Owens [A#] and the Buckaroos,
Johnny Cash and the [C] Tennessee Three,
Charlie Pride and the Pridesmen,
George Jones and the Joan Boys,
Flatt and Scruggs, all those boys.
I wanted to grow up and do that.
Back to Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three.
I love those guys because they had
a really strange-looking guitar player _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ named Luther Perkins.
_ And I love Luther's playing,
and John wrote a song for his little band
to feature Luther's style of guitar playing
and showcase him a little bit.
And we took that song, left the first half alone
to salute our old heroes, the Tennessee Three,
and kind of wrote the back half
to reflect the superlatives
and Cuz and Kenny Vones,
unique style of guitar playing.
So Cuz, shall we play?
Luther played the boogie-woogie,
ladies [B] and gentlemen,
in the strangest kind of way.
All right, Cuz.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
They were just plain old,
hillbilly family
with a plain old country style. _ _ _ _ _
They never played the kind of [B] songs
that would drive [E] anybody wild.
_ [A] Play the real song with the strong beat,
play [Dm] the blues song,
slow and sweet,
[B] the thing that knocked them
off with their feet was [F#m] _ [E] boogey.
_ Boy, Luther played the [A] boogie-woogie,
Luther played the boogie-woogie,
Luther played the boogie-woogie,
Luther played [D] the boogie-woogie
Luther played the boogie-woogie,
We're gonna play the [A] boogie, we're gonna play the boogie,
we're gonna play the [E] boogie in the strangest kind [A] of way.
Play it. _ _ _

_ _ [C] _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Well, we do our best to entertain everywhere we go.
That's right, Paul. _ _ _
We nearly wear our fangs [A#] off [B] to give folks [E] a show.
_ Well, [A] we play a jumping jive to make you get in a groove.
We [D] play a sad song, kind of slow and smooth.
[B] The thing that always makes a move is [E] _ hoowee.
_ [A] We're gonna play the boogie, we're
gonna play the boogie, we're gonna [Dm] play the boogie,
we're gonna play the boogie, we're
gonna play the boogie, we're gonna play the boogie.
[A] We're gonna play the boogie _ [E] in the strangest kind [A] of way.
Play the boogie. _ _
