From: davies@ils.nwu.edu (Brian Davies) Date: Thu, 01 Jun 1995 14:26:22 -0500 Subject: CRD: Ain't Nobody's Business (Clapton, Bessie Smith, others) A bunch of people were requesting this after EC's VH1 rehearsal show. This is actually an older version -- EC changed around a bunch of the lyrics and the structure a little bit, and I think I actually prefer the original. His take is also half a step off of this (though I can't remember if his is higher or lower). Share and enjoy, as always. - Brian AIN'T NOBODY'S BUSINESS IF I DO by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins
Bb There ain't nothin' D7 I can do, Gm nor nothin' I can D7 say, G7 That folks don't Dm7 criG7 tiCmcize G7 me. Cm But I'm gonna G7 do just as I Cm want to anyCway, C7 I don't care if they all desF#7pise F7 me.
Bb If I should D7 take a notion Gm To jump inEbto the ocean, Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do. G7 C7 F7
Bb Rather than D7 persecute me, Gm I choose that Eb you would shoot me, Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do. G7 C7 F7
Bb If I should D7 get the feelin' Gm To dance upEbon the ceiling', Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do. G7 C7 F7
Bb If I let my D7 best companion Gm Drive me right inEbto the canyon, Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do. G7 C7 F7
Bb After all the D7 way to do Gm is do just as you D7 please, [G7] Regardless [Dm7] of [G7] their [Cm] talk[G7]in' Cm Often times the G7 ones that talk will get Cm down on their C knees, C7 And beg your pardon for their F#7 squakF7in'. (sp')
Bb If I disD7like my lover Gm And leave (him/her) Eb for another, Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do. G7 C7 F7
Bb If I go to D7 church on Sunday, Gm Then cabaEbret on Monday, Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do. G7 C7 F7
Bb If my friend ain't D7 got no money Gm And I say, "Take Eb all mine honey," Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do. G7 C7 F7
Bb If I lend (him/her) D7 my last nickel Gm And it leaves me Eb in a pickle, Bb It ain't nobody's F7 business if I Bb do.
