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, you’d 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 I’ll give it you back

 You let it flow, let it go, there’s 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 I’ve got yours, and you’ve got mine

 It’s 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, you’d try anything twice

 You’d 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 I’ve got yours, and you’ve got mine

 It’s a rhythm and blues alibi

La la la la la etc.
