Creola keyboard

Creola

• Cmaj7

Notes:

Cmaj7 with high G on third fret of E string, alternating
with Cmaj7(A)(meaning add A on second fret of G string, like
a C6 but keep b string open, and keep that high g on first
string)

Then
G(c) meaning G with C held on 1st fret b string,
G (so alternate with finger on and off of C note)

(Instrumental two verses)

Well the years have come and gone
Still the old song lingers on
I keep it in my heart with fond affection
Like the family good luck charm
That keeps away the harm
Creola's always there for my protection

(Chorus 3)
Creola, good for your sola
I loved what they were sayin'
I loved what they were playin'
Creola

Creola on my victrola
Makes me feel like dancin'
Fall in love romacin' the melody
Creola Creola Creola for me

It's in the mood it's in the blood
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's a spicy kind of life
Creola
Just repeat the words I say
About a thousand times a day
Creola Creola Creola for me

It's in the mood it's in the blood
It's in the food it's in the mud
It's a spicy kind of life
Creola
Forget about the mumbo-jumbo
Hello to the world of gumbo
Creola Creola Creola for me
