_ Okay, my producer George Dekulias came in the studio one day _ and for whatever reason,
out of the blue he goes, don't knock the boogie.
So we [E] did this. _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [B] _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
[B] _ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [A] _ _ _ [G]
[A] I don't knock the boogie. _ _
[B] _ [G] [D] Oh, don't knock the boogie.
[G] _
_ _ _ [A] It'll set you [E] [G] free.
[A] _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ It'll work for [A] you _ [G] and [E] it'll work for me.
[G] _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ [G] _ [A] _ [E] _ _ [G] _
[Bb] _ _ _ It was about half [G] past midnight.
[A] I _ walked into a bar and [G] ordered a drink.
[E] _ _
_ [A] _ [Bb] _ _ _ [A] _
The [G] bar was called The Troubadour and [D] _ it was packed [A] to the [B] gills.
_ And over in the corner there was this little band [A] playing [B] _ _ [A] something by [E] John Lee Hooker. _ _ _ _
_ [A] [E] And it felt so good.
[A] _
[B] _ _ Got [E] inside my brain.
[A] _ [E] _ _ _ [A] _
[E] _ _ The [B] singer was some cat from [A] Alabama.
[E] _ _ _ [A]
[E] He had a wicked eye and he could lay a lip along a [A] lyric.
[E] The _ [D] _
[E] _ _ bass player [Em] was a guy from Georgia.
[A] _ [E] _ Somebody [A] said he [B] committed a crime or did some time. _
[A] But I don't [E] really know.
_ [A] Could just [E] be a rumor. _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] [B] And on the drums, _ [A]
[E] they had this guy named Crazy _ Legs.
Down [D] in South [E] Carolina.
_ [A] _
[B] _ He could hit them skins like [A] nobody's business.
[E] _ _ _ [A] _
[B] _ _ _ [E] And on the [A] guitar, [B] _ there was [A] this guy [B] they called Lightning Slim.
_ [E] _ _
_ [A] [E] He could go up and down that [A] neck like [E] lightning.
_ _ [B] I guess that's how he got his name.
[A] _ [E] _ _ _ [A]
[E] And over in the corner _ [A] where the [E] lights were low, _ [A] _
[E] _ I saw this woman. _
_ [D] _ [E] She had red [A] rouge [E] _ and a gold tooth that glistened [A] when she [E] smiled.
_ _ [A] _
[B] _ _ _ _ And she gave me [A] the [Bb] eye.
_ _ [A] _
[B] Yeah, she gave me the eye.
You know that [A] eye.
[E] You know what I'm talking about.
[A] _
[E] _ So I went over there and I said, is [A] this seat taken?
[G] _ [A] And she [E] looked at me and said, well, now it is. _
_ [A] _ [E] So I sat down [A] _
[E] and I looked into her one blue eye.
_ [A] _ [B] _ _ [A] And [B] I said, what's on your mind?
_ [E] _ _
_ [D] _ [E] The band got real [A] quiet.
[E] _ _ _ _ _
She [A] leaned over [B] _ and [A]
[Em] whispered in my ear, [D] _ _ [E] _ _
[A] don't [E] knock the booty.
_ [A] _
[E] _ _ Don't knock the booty.
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ [D]
[E] Set you free. _ _ _
[A] Come [E] to me.
_ [A] _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] [E] Set you free.
_ [A] _
[E] _ _ And then she kind of pointed up at the stage.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
[E] _ Lightning Slim stepped up to the spotlight.
_ [A] _ [E] _ _ _ [Bb] _
[B] She got so excited.
[E] _ _
_ [A] [E] She jumped up out of her chair and she [B] said, _ [D] come [E] on, Slim.

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [A] _ [B] And [A] he stepped back [E] and shifted over his wah-wah pedal.
_ [A] _ Okay, go ahead.
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _

_ _ _ That kind of tickled me in a [Bb] couple of [E] places.
_ _ [B] _
Okay, [A] musically. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ What I think we need right now in the troubadour [A] on [E] this beautiful evening,
there's something way down in the bottom. _
