Bayou Girl chords by Adam Hood

G
I know a girl named Edie

G
She’s a good friend of mine

C           Am
Living on the bayou

       G
On Evangeline

C           Am
Well she's pretty as a picture

         G
In a magazine

G
She ‘bout the prettiest little thing

D/F#     G
You ever seen

Verse:

                      G
Well I’m back upon muddy water

G
Down where the big fish go

C           Am
Running on the banks

       G
In a little pi-reaux

      C           Am
And all day long

         G
What I’m thinking of

G
Well I’m hoping I can snag me

D/F#     G
A little Cajun dove

Chorus:

G
She lives down

        C           Am
In a 2 bit town

G
Where the Palmetto Grows

    D/F#
All around

        G
Anywhere

              C           Am
In the whole damn world

You won’t never find love

D/F#         G
Like a bayou girl

G
Well I’m sitting in a shotgun cabin

G
Sippin Little Sherry Wine

C           Am
We sure do have some fun

       G
Sure do have a real good time

     C           Am
Laughing and a singing

And the “fiddle dee dee”
