[Intro 1]
[A][D][A]
[D]Jimmy Brown

[Verse 1]
[D]
could take anything and make music
Anything that he found [G]around the [A]place
He took a [D]limb from a tree
and made a [G]whistle
And [D]this is the [A]melody he
[D]played[A][D][A]
[D]
Jimmy took an old beat -up wash tub
And a pitchfork that he
used for [G]pitchin' [A]hay
He [D]tied them both together
with a [G]clothesline
You [D]ought to hear old
[A]Jimmy play the [D]bass[A][D][A]
[D][A][D][Eb]
Some people say he took an old cigar box
And a wire from a screen door
that was [Bb]torn
[Eb]Everybody thought ol'
Jim was [Ab]crazy
[Bb]But [Eb]that's how the g[Bb]uitar [D]was [Eb]born
And he [Bb]played[Eb][Bb][Eb]
The day they took old
Jimmy to the graveyard,
everybody came from miles [Bb]around, a [Eb]little
was playing
Jimmy's mu[Ab]sic, [Eb]as they l[Bb]aid hi[Eb]m in[Bb] the cold,
cold [Eb]ground, and they played
[Bb]Uh -uh -choo
Uh -uh - bor[Eb]rowing
Uh -uh [Bb]-choo

[Outro 1]
Uh -uh -choo
