NOTE: C5  =  x35xxx    G5  =  35xxxx 
 
Intro: (C5)  (C5)  (C5)  (C5) 
 
(C5) Next to Lousiana on the Texas side 
There's a (C5) little country joint where they let it ride 
There's a (C5) boogie woogie man on the piano 
And all the (G5) backwoods boppers shoutin' (C5) go cat go 
 
   They've (F) never been afraid of the (C) Boogie Man 
   Nothin' (G) makes you feel better than the (C) boogie woogie can 
   So (F) don't you be afraid of the (C) Boogie Man 
   He'll take you (D) down to New Orleans 
   Where that (G) rhythm all began 
   So (F) don't you 
   (G) Don't you be afraid of the Boogie (C) Man 
 
(C5) Grandpa's in the corner in his fishing clothes 
(C5) Reeling to the rhythm everywhere it goes 
All the (C5) boogie woogie babies tearing up the floor 
When they (G5) get a little bit, they want a (C5) little more 
 
   They've (F) never been afraid of the (C) Boogie Man 
   Nothin' (G) makes you feel better than the (C) boogie woogie can 
   So (F) don't you be afraid of the (C) Boogie Man 
   He'll take you (D) down to New Orleans 
   Where that (G) rhythm all began 
   So (F) don't you 
   (G) Don't you be afraid of the Boogie (C) Man 
 
In a (C5) red El Dorado at the break of day 
That (C5) Boogie Woogie man will be slipping away 
Althought you're (C5) never gonna know it when he's out of sight 
He'll shut a (G5) juke box down again tom(C5)orrow night 
 
   They've (F) never been afraid of the (C) Boogie Man 
   Nothin' (G) makes you feel better than the (C) boogie woogie can 
   So (F) don't you be afraid of the (C) Boogie Man 
   He'll take you (D) down to New Orleans 
   Where that (G) rhythm all began 
   It (F) works for me, it'll (C) work for you 
   He'll have you (D) doing things 
   That you (G) didn't know you knew 
   So (F) don't you  
   (G) Don't you be afraid 
   Now (F) don't ya 
   (G) Don't you be afraid of the (C5) Boogie Man
