Standard (EADGBE)
Verse 1
You can write your tunes with rhythm and blues as your alibi
You can sell your soul and lay the blame on the passers-by
You shake your body on the tv screen
It seems to me, youd try anything twice
And swing it out and use it as your aphrodisiac
You can give it to me, to me, Plain to see that Ill give it you back
You let it flow, let it go, theres nothing to it
Anyone can try anything twice, try anything twice
Chorus
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Cannot look old son house in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But Ive got yours, and youve got mine
Its a rhythm and blues alibi
Verse 2
La la la la la la la la la la laaa..
You can take a trip through your juke joint smoke-filled paradise
You can give it your all, cause you are walking a fine, fine line, la
You shake your booty on the tv screen
Seems to me, youd try anything twice
Youd try anything twice (Well let me hear you now)
Chorus
Chasing after stories that have already been told
Couldn't I look old son house in the eyes
I know where you carry such a fragile load
But Ive got yours, and youve got mine
Its a rhythm and blues alibi
La la la la la etc.
