Johnny Cash, Luthers Boogie Tabs

I heard this song on many records including "The Best of Johnny Cash Vol. 2."  

I am a huge fan of Luther Perkins! I think he plays this song perfectly. 

  

Verse1

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWe were just a plain ol' hillbilly band with a plain ol' country  

style 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWe never played the kinda' songs that'd drive anybody wild 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊPlayed a railroad song with a stompin' beat 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWe played a blues song kinda' slow and sweet 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊBut the thing that em' off a their feet was ooh wee! 

 

Chorus

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWhen Luther played the boogie woogie 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther played the boogie woogie 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther played the boogie woogie 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther played the boogie woogie 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther played the boogie woogie 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther played the boogie woogie 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther played the boogie woogie 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther played the boogie in the strangest kinda' way 

 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ(Spoken: Play a string!) 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊLuther's Guitar Solo 

 

Verse2

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWell we did our best to entertain everywhere we'd go 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊWe'd nearly wear our fingers off to give the folks a show 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊPlayed jumpin' jives to make em' get in the groove  

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊPlayed sad songs real slow and smooth  

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊBut the only that that'd make em' move was ooh wee! 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊChorus

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊSolo 

 

Tag (spoken): 

 ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊÊNow didn't Luther play the boogie strange?
