Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)


Intro:
G+G G+G

Verse 1:
G+G
Some city folks are staying at a place right near our farm
  C majorC                       G+G
The other night they gave a dance and held it in our barn
 C majorC                G+G         E7E7
A augmentedA city band was playing while they danced around the floor
     A7A7             D7D7
They did one called the mambo that I never saw before

Chorus:
     G+G                     D MajorD
Well, the mambo is a hoedown that's just got a Latin beat
                             G+G
To me it looks just like they're dancing on each other's feet
  C majorC       A augmentedA       G+G        E7E7
The feller who is calling has a stomach pain, no doubt
A7A7                D7D7     A7A7   D MajorD  N.C.
When it starts to hurt him, he'll stand right up and shout (Ugh!)

  G+G                          D7D7
It sounds just like a breakdown and they play it mighty fast
                         G+G
Instead of using fiddles they just use alone the brass
   C majorC      A augmentedA       G+G       E7E7
If my brains ever jumbled, I'll have myself a fling
   A7A7                  D7D7     G+G
I'll take a chance and learn to dance that crazy mambo thing

Solo:
G+G   G+G   G+G   G+G  G+G C majorC
A augmentedA G+G E7E7 A7A7 A7 D7D7 G+G


Verse 2:
G+G
On Saturday I went down to the square dance in our town
  C majorC                       G+G
I told the fiddle player about this mambo dance I found
  C majorC       A augmentedA         G+G       E7E7
He said if I describe it, he would try to play it too
  A7A7                  D MajorD
But when I tried to tell him, here's the best that I could do


Chorus:
     G+G                     D7D7
Well, the mambo is a hoedown that's just got a Latin beat
                             G+G
To me it looks just like they're dancing on each other's feet
  C majorC       A augmentedA       G+G        E7E7
The feller who is calling has a stomach pain, no doubt
A7A7                D7D7     A7A7   D MajorD  N.C.
When it starts to hurt him, he'll stand right up and shout (Ugh!)

  G+G                          D7D7
It sounds just like a breakdown and they play it mighty fast
                         G+G
Instead of using fiddles they just use alone the brass
   C majorC      A augmentedA       G+G       E7E7
If my brains ever jumbled, I'll have myself a fling
   A7A7                  D7D7     G+G
I'll take a chance and learn to dance that crazy mambo thing
