       E7
I been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer,
     A7
Been chippin' up rocks for the great highway,
 
E7   A7
 
     E7
I'll live five years if I take my time,
A7
Ballin' that jack and a drinkin' my wine.
 
E7    A7
 
I been chippin' them rocks from dawn till doom,
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room.
Doctor say better stop ballin' that jack,
If I live five years I gonna bust my back, yes I will.
 
 
Chorus Intro
 
A7                          E7
Easy wind cross the Bayou today
               A7
Cause there's a whole lotta women, mama,
                            E7
Out in red on the streets today.
        B
And the river keeps a talkin',
        A     C                E
But you never heard a word it said.
 
Chorus Outro
 
 
Gotta find a woman be good to me,
Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea,
Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will.
 
Easy wind going cross the Bayou today
There's a whole lotta women
Out in red on the streets today.
And the rivers keep a talkin',
But you never heard a word it said.

The chords are correct, but not the correct form: use a C7 chord shape for the E root, and run the same to A at the 10 fret. Also do A7 at the 7th fret with E7 shape. To only play the chords at the guitar nut is to do this song lamely, like a beginner.
