Chords for Sam Chatmon: Bumblebee Blues (1978)

What sort of woman was Mappas Minnie?
She was a little slim, _ dark woman [F#] with short hair.
_ [C#m] _ [B] _ [A] She married a boy named Charlie McCoy.
_ _ We all stayed there in Jackson [E] on _ _ _ _ _ Passegour [D] Street.
_ _ [E] She was a Mississippi woman, was she?
Yeah, she was Mississippi raised [C#] up there in Jackson.
[G] _ _ [E] _ And they went by the sheiks too.
_ See, the way we done, we had about 14 or 15 of us played together.
And every Saturday night, we would divide them up,
let four or five go to this place, and four or five go to Jordan,
and four or five go to Jordan.
That's the way we had to get around.
You monopolized all the music business.
[G] Yeah, [E] just plenty of it.

[A#] _ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ Crying, oh, now, _ _ _ _ _
Stung as long [E] as [C#] my right arm.
[E] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ [E] _ [F#]
Crying, [A#m] oh,

_ _ [C#m] _ Buzz, buzz, buzz,
[C#] _ Come [C#m] on in this house, Bumblebee,
[C#] _ [A#] Stop [C#] your fuss, you know [F#] you're my [A#m] Bumblebee.

[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ Now, I [G#] just stung my [C] Bumblebee,
