King Creole chords

A
There's a man in New Orleans who plays rock and roll
A
He's a guitar man with a great big soul
A
And he lays down a beat like a ton of coal
A
He goes by the name of King Creole

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
    D                    A
And hip shaking King Creole

A
When the King starts to do it it's as good as done
A
He holds his guitar like a tommy gun
A
He starts to growl from way down in his throat
A
He bends a string and that's all she wrote

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole
              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
    D                   A
And hip shaking King Creole

A
He sings a song about a crawdad hole
A
He sings a song about a jelly roll
A
He sings a song about pork and greens
A
He sings some blues about New Orleans

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
               E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
    D                   A
And hip shaking King Creole

A
He plays something evil then he plays something sweet
A
No matter how he plays you got to get up on your feet
A
And when he gets the rockin' fever baby, heaven sakes
A
He don't stop playin' 'til his guitar breaks

              D
You know he's gone, gone, gone
                            A
Jumpin' like a catfish on a pole, yeah
              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
    D                   A
And hip shaking King Creole

              E
You know he's gone, gone, gone
D                   A
Hip shaking King Creole
