Up On Cripple Creek (Live 1970) Chords

_ I [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A#] _
_ [A] _ get off of this mountain, [D] you know where I wanna go. _ _
[Am] _ Straight [D] down the Mississippi [E] River to the Gulf of Mexico.
_ [E] _
[A] The lakes are _ Louisiana, _ [D] it'll pass if I want to.
_ _ [E] _
_ She [D] told me just to come on by [B]
if there's anything she could [E] do. _ _
[A] My mom couldn't book me, she'd [D] send me if I sprang a beam.
And she [E] missed me, I don't have to speak.
She'd defend [F#] me and from her scream [G] if I ever did see one.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
A good look at you strung me, [D] so do the racetrack I did go.
_ _ _ [E] _
I've been [D] on one, lost a win, [B] and [E] you've been on another to show.
[D] The [A]
odds were in my favor, _ [D] I had them fighting.
_ _ _ _ [A] _
That [D] nag for win came [B] around the track, me and little Bessie [E] had won.
My mom [A] _
couldn't book me, _ she'd send [D]
me if I sprang a beam.
And she missed [E] me, I don't have to speak.
She'd defend [F#] me and from her scream [G] if I ever did see one.
I _ _ _ _ _ [A]
picked up all of my winnings, [D] and I gave my little Bessie _ hands.
_ [A] _
She tore [D] it up and threw it in my [B] face, [E] just for a glance.
_ _ [A] I guess it made my heart drop [D] to the bottom of my feet.
_ _ _ [E] _
And I swore [D] as I took another pull, [E] my Bessie can't be beat.
_ [A] _ _ [A]
My mom couldn't book me, _ [B] she'd send [D]
me if I sprang a beam.
And she missed [E] me, I don't have to speak.
She'd defend [F#m] me and from her scream [G] if I ever did see one.
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [A]
Good [D] luck, _ _ _ [A] good luck, good luck, good luck, good [D] luck, good _ _ [A] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ luck.
_ _ [D] And up north it's freezing cold, _ _ [E] _
and it's a [D] little bit off the road.
[B]
It's getting pretty [F#] cold, _ _ [A] so I guess I caught up.
I think, Mama, _ _ [D] _
I'll be rolling in.
_ _ [F#]
But you know deep [D] down, I'm kind of [E] tempted to go and see my Bessie again.
_ [A] Oh, and I'm from Cripple Creek, and she'd send [D] me if I sprang a beam.
And she missed [E] me, I don't have to speak.
She'd defend [F#m] me and from her scream [G] if I ever did see one.
