[C] [F] I followed my mother home [Dm] [C] and [G#]
[D#] when I [D] found out he was a musician I was glad.
[N]
He would set the guitar down and he would probably go somewhere and when he'd [G#m] come back I'd be done.
I tried to do what I see him doing.
I was doing a pretty good job too.
[N]
So he finally asked me if I really wanted to learn how to play.
[G] First thing he taught me [C#m] was Sweet Home Chicago.
[F#m] [A]
Oh, [D] baby don't you wanna [E] go home.
[Dm] [C#] [E] Robert [G#m] Jr.
was learning under Robert.
Back to the band of California.
See Rob would have shown Robert Jr.
but he wouldn't have [G] shown nobody else.
[A] He'd make [E] Robert Jr.
play.
[A#] Well [N] he was like a tennis from heaven for me.
[G] [E] Because he taught me how to make my living.
Mr.
Downchild, [A] he did [A#] not record that.
[E]
[Gm] [F#m] [C#m] When I was a down child, [A] [B] didn't wanna [E] take no [C#m] one's advice.
[G] [E]
[C#m] [D] [A] When I was a down [Am] child, [F#m] didn't wanna [E] take no one's [C#m] advice.
[E]
[Dm] [F#] But you know [B] I never let no one woman, [G] man mistreat me twice.
[E] My mother loved him [G#] and he taught me to play.
So I have to say I loved him too.
