Do you know [D]me? ,
Of course you [A]do! ,
Though maybe you haven't seen
me in a [D]little while[A]
[D]I'm that drum beat comin'
through your [A]car radi[D]o

[Verse 2]
I'm a pure gospel [D]song issuing forth from
a Sunday morning church house
Je[G]sus!, [C]Jes[G]us,[C][G]
[C]Jes[F]us, Jes[G]us,[F][G][D]
Je[A]sus, [D]Jes[A]us,
[D]Jes[A]us,[D][A][D][A]
[D]Jesus, [A]Jes[D]us, Jes[A]us,[D] Je sus[A]![D][A]
I'm a happy crystal ring of a high mountain fiddle

[C][G][C][D][G]
[C][D][G]
I'm the blues at midnight oozing out
of a back street honky- [D]tonk
I'm draw my nourishment from the teeming
[G]streets of [D]New York City
The lonely grain [A]covered
plain[G]s of Minnesota
From cabaret and camp meeting,
[D]and bayou and beer joint and good times [A]and ghettos[Bm]
[A]I was born in a house of New Orl[Bb]eans traveling[A]
up the river on the North [C]bound [G]paddle [A]leaders
I was nurtured in the Mis[D]sissippi delta when seeds
of the blues [G]sprang forth in the rich [D]black [A]soil
[D]I was there when Elv[A]is lea[F]rned to [G]sing,
when BB got his first [D]guitar[G]
[D]I'm black and white and smooth
and rough [A]and hard and soft
I'm the roots of [G]Americ[Bb]an music
[A]And I'm always [D]there just the [G]local service
[D]And when the chaff of trend
and bad is swept aside
I'm exposed [G]again
Strong, pulsating and very much [D]alive
The winds of [G]change
may blow [D]the tree [G]away[D]
But [A]the roots [D]remain, [A]then,
[D]now and until the end
