Verse 1 -------- Bb5 It comes from Mississippi and down in Alabam , Creepin' like a fever, all across the land. From deep in the Delta, on the Louisiana shore, The people got to have it, they wanna hear some more. Chorus ------- Eb5 Its the hillbilly rock, beat it with a drum , Bb5 Playin' them guitars like shootin' from a gun. Eb5 Keepin' up the rhythm , steady as a clock. F5 Bb5 Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock. Verse 2 -------- Bb5 Some say it came from Memphis, down in Tennessee, Or it drifted in from Georgia about 1953. Just as long as its greasy, as long as its fast, As long as its pumpin' honey, its gonna last. *REPEAT CHORUS* Bb5 Eb5 Bb5 Eb5 F5 Bb5 INSTRUMENTAL Verse 3 -------- Bb5 Way back in old Kentucky where the bluegrass grows, Through the Carolinas on them dirt red roads. Burnin' like a fire runnin' wild in the woods, From Arkansas to Texas, it sounds so good. *REPEAT CHORUS* Verse 4 -------- Bb5 So when the heat starts to risin' and you gotta blow some steam , Take a ride down the river, you'll see just what I mean. The juke joint's jumpin' when that cat goes on, The whole place is shakin', there's a something goin' on. *REPEAT CHORUS* F5 Bb5 Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock. F5 Bb5 Doin' a little thing called the hillbilly rock. *********************************************************************** b = bend p = pulloff / = slide up bh = bend & hold r = release bend ~ = let ring \ = slide down *********************************************************************** LEAD SOLO (without capo) Bb Eb Bb E | -----------------(b9)6---6-6-6--6-6-6---6-6-6-(b9)-(b9)-(b9)-9h10-- B | -------------------9bh-(b9)(b9)9r-(b9)(b9)9bh-(b9)(b9)(b9)/11-11-11-11---- G | ---------6-6-8/10------------------------------------------- D | ----------8------------------------------------------------- A | ------------------------------------------------------------ E | --9b-p6-6--------------------------------------------------- Eb E | ----------------------------6-----6---------------6---------4/6-6-- B | --11-11-11-11~~~~~~-11--6~~~6-6~~~6-6~~~-6--6-6~~~6-6----6--4/6-6-- G | --10-12-13-12h13p12-10--8/10--8/10--10\8-6b-6-8/10--10\8-6b-------- D | -------------------------------------------8---------------8------- A | ------------------------------------------------------------------- E | ------------------------------------------------------------------- F Bb E | ------6------------------------------------------6-6----6--- | B | --6~~~6-6~~~-6--6~~~-6----------------------------6----6---- | G | --8/10--10\8-6b-8/10-6b------------------------------------- | D | ---------------8-------8------------------------------------ | A | ------------------------7/8-8-7/8-8-7/8-8-8-6---------8----- | E | ---------------------------------------------9b-6---9b------ |
