Cripple Creek chords by Bill Monroe

Song:Cripple Creek
Traditional Bluegrass (mixed lyrics)

G          C      G
I got a gal at the head of the creek
G              D      G
goin up to see her bout the middle of the week
G               C    G
kiss her on the mouth just as sweet as wine
G                D     D
wraps herself around me like a sweet potato vine

CHORUS:
  G            C     G
  Goin' up Cripple Creek goin' in a run
  G             D     G
  Goin' up Cripple Creek to have some fun.
  G            C     G
  Goin' up cripple creek goin in a whirl
  G            D    G
  Goin' up Cripple Creek , see my girl

G         C    G
I got a girl and she loves me
G         D    G
She's as sweet as sweet can be
G         C  G
She's got eyes of baby blue
G          D     G
Makes my gun shoot straight and true.

CHORUS: X1

G             C      G
Cripple Creek's wide and Cripple Creek's deep
G              D     G
I'll wade old Cripple Creek before I sleep
G        C   G
Roll my breeches to my knees
G              D    G
I'll wade ol' Cripple Creek when I please

CHORUS: X1

G        C   G
I went down to Cripple Creek
G            D   G
To see what them girls had to eat
G            C    G
I got drunk and fell against the wall
G            D     G
Old corn likker was the cause of it all

CHORUS:X1

G            C    G
girls up cripple creek bout half grown
G           D    G
jump on a man like a dog on a bone
G        C   G
Roll my breeches to my knees
G              D    G
I'll wade ol' Cripple Creek when I please

CHORUS: X2
