[Verse 1]
[G]Music
[E]All[A] ni[D]ght[G]
[Bbdim]long
[D]I'v[G]e rod[D]e that tra[G]in
In a native coach [D]from Birmingham
Just to find my [G]lovin' [D]Sam
[G]I can'[D]t g[G]et him o[D]ff my brain
[G]And beyond[A] the least question of doubt
My aim is to find and straighten
him [D]out
Because [G]nobody's foolin'
Birmingham Bertha
She's had school in Birmingham [C]Bertha
[G]Eye for [E]an eye,
[A]tooth for a t[D]ooth's my p[G]lan[D]
just [G]treat me fair and I'm [C]on the [Cm]level
[G]try and give me air and I'm just
a she devil he's on [E]my mind
[A]so I [D]in tend to find [G]that man
[D]but [G]at that I'm just the wor[C]st
simple Simon that you know
I [Cm]gave him my diamonds and my dough
[G]but you can't bet it, [E]he'll regret it, [A]he's gonna get it and [D]so, [G]don't expect as much as two dollars worth of sympathy from Birmingham Ber[A]tha,
[G]like the [E]police, [A]I never r[D]elease my m[G]an, h[D]uh,[G] now
[D]Wee's [G]in Chicago
came up here from Birmingham as I was [C]feeling kind of funny,
had to see my [D]honey I [G]am, yes indeed [D]I a[G]m
No more [D]blues in my heart,
cause we two ain't apart
I found [G]my Sam, [D]that lovin' [G]man
But all the same,
nobody's foolin'
Birmingham [C]Ber[G]tha
She's had school in this particular bertha
Eye for [E]an eye,
[A]jaw for a j[D]aw'[G]s my p[D]lan
Just [G]treat me fair, and I'll be on the [C]level
[G]Try and give me air,
and I'll become a cage of apes to you
And unless [E]I go blind,
[A]I alw[D]ays find m[G]y man
[D]An [G]d to think that he would run[C] out
and do me such a low -down dirty trick
Well, [Cm]I knew him when he couldn't eat
and he wasn't sick
[G]But you can bet it, [E]he'll regret it
Is [A]he gonna get it from this strong
[D]-armed momma and I?
[G]So don't expect as much as two bits worth
of sympathy from Birmingham, Bertha
Like the [E]police,
[A]I never r[D]elease my m[G]an[D][G]
