Intro
I (C) don�t smoke I don�t shoot smack
But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back
Don�t eat beignets too much sugar and dough
But (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
Yes (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
It started in my grandma�s in her kitchen by the sea
She warned me when where she told me "son the first one�s free"
It hit me like a rock or some Taekwondo
Cause (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
Oh yeah (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
A (F) piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
(C) Good for the body, good for the soul
It�s a (F) little like religion and a lot like sex
(G) You should never know when you�re gonna get it next
At (C) midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux
(G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
Yes, (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
I�m not (C) talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes
Or a pile of caviar that�s a rich man�s dream
No banana split or filet of pompano
No, (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
Yeah, (G) I will play for gu(C)mbo
Solo
A (F) piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
(C) Good for the body, good for the soul
It�s a (F) little like religion and a lot like sex
(G) You should never know when you�re gonna get it next
(C) Maybe it�s that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp
Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp
Maybe it�s that voodoo from Marie Laveau
But (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
Hey (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
Now the (C) sauce boss makes his cookin� on the stage
Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage
Sweating and a frettin� from his head to his toe
(G) Playin� and (F) swayin� with the gu(C)mbo
(G) Prayin� and (F) buffetin� with the gu(C)mbo
A (F) piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
(C) Good for the body, good for the soul
It�s a (F) little like religion and a lot like sex
(G) You should never know when you�re gonna get it next
At (C) midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux
(G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
(G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
(G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
(G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo
