======== Newsgroups: alt.guitar.tab Subject: Re:Cotton Fields Back Home, CCR From: rthornton@centuryinter.net (Thornton) Date: Tue, 29 Oct 96 00:20:47 GMT > Please, is anyone has the tab/crd for this tune, please post. This old Ledbetter song has been redone by more than just CCR: The Beach Boys screwed it up really bad, Harry Belafonte sang it, Ace Cannon played it on the sax, Floyd Cramer did it on the piano, Pete Fountain blew it out, Bill Monroe bluegrassed it, The Highwaymen, The New Chrisy Minstrals, and, yes, even Lawrence Welk did it Live at Lake Tahoe. Here's how me and the boys do it: Cotton Fields (Ledbetter)

^E When I was a little bitty baby My ^A mama would rock me in the cradle In them ^E ole cotton fields back ^B7 home It was ^E down in Louisi^E7ana Just about a ^A mile from Texarkana In them ^E ole ^B7 cotton fields back ^E home

[step up to A] When them ^A cotton bolls get rotten You cant ^E pick very much cotton In them ole cotton fields back ^B7 home It was ^E down in Louisi^E7ana Just about a ^A mile from Texarkana In them ^E ole ^B7 cotton fields back ^E home

from Ronnie's Groovy Chopros keep it in tune, Ron rthornton@centuryinter.net
