Johnny Cash - Luther Played the Boogie: chords

F
We were just a plain ol' hillbilly band
with a plain old country style.
We never played the kind of songs
                      C
that'd drive anybody wild.
          F
Played a railroad song with a stomping beat,
             A#
we played a blues song kinda slow and sweet.
          G
But the thing that knocked them off
their feet was,
     C
ooh-wee!!

Chorus:
      F
When Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the
boogie-woogie.
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the
boogie-woogie.
 A#
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the
boogie-woogie.
 F
Luther played the boogie-woogie
Luther played the
             C                   F
boogie in the strangest kind of way
Play it strange!

Well, we did our best to entertain
Everywhere we'd go
We'd nearly wear our fingers off
To give the folks a show
Played jumping jive to make them
get in the groove
We played sad songs, real slow and smooth
But the only thing that'd make them move was
Ooh-wee

Chorus

F
Now, didn't Luther play the boogie strange?
