^EBack in the 19th ce^B7ntury on southern US land ^EThey built a simple^B7 kind of house, and many still do stand ^EThe people called t^B7hem 'shotgun house', from the African word "to-gun" ^EJust three or four ^B7rooms back-to-back, and I'm-a get me ^Gone, ^Dson.

^GWhen I get my ^B7shotgun house, you can ^Evisit all the ^E7time ^A7I will move from back porch ^Dto front room by ^Gwalki^F#ng a s^Dtraight ^DMline ^GOh, when I buy^B7 my shotgun house that ^Ewill be someth^E7ing fine ^A7I will finally have a place ^DI can call mine ^{G F# D DM}

^ENow, yes, I am an E^B7nglish man - from Oxford, if you please ^EBut when it comes t^B7o settling down, I may look overseas ^EFor I have travelle^B7d far and wide, to places foul and fair ^EBut I have loved Am^B7erica since I was married ^Gthere, ^Dyeah

^GWhen I get my ^B7shotgun house, you can ^Evisit all the ^E7time ^A7I will move from back porch ^Dto front room by ^Gwalki^F#ng a s^Dtraight ^DMline ^GOh now, just t^B7o own a shotgun house would ^Ebe a sple^E7ndid thing ^A7I will sing the way my daddy^D used to sing ^{G F# D DM}
