Born on the Bayou Creedence Clearwater Revival Subject: Re: REQ: "Born on the Bayou" by CCR Yow! Brings back memories of my bar band days, howling my balls off trying to sing that one just like John Fogerty... As I recall, the intro riff is just arpegggios based on this fingering for an E7 chord: x7675x The chords are basically just E7, with your occasional D -> A change thrown in. Lyrics, as best as I can remember 'em 25 years later: When I was just a little boy A-standin' to m (xguitar.com)
