D
well poor tom jefferson
he loved the little maid out back ( do lick 3 times )

D
midnight creepin’ out to the servant’s shack ( lick 3 times )

E
kept a secret under the bed
D
wrapped in a burlap sack ( lick )

D
well i drove all day and night
out to jericho ( lick 3 times )

D
but in my second mind
i knew it was time to go ( lick )

E
yeah and i still get nervous every time
D
that bugle blows ( lick )

harp solo over A , guitar solo over full chord pattern

D
well she ain’t no good for me
but i just can’t let go ( lick )
D
if i sit here thinking
my thoughts will overflow ( lick )

E
and i can’t keep from crying
D
can’t keep time from moving slow ( lick )

go out over A – C – A – G – A chord boogie . end on a chord flare .
