F# Someone spilled blood many years ago Someone spilled blood but do you know That from the backwoods where the Chuck Berrys grow Come your long tall daddies of rock and roll Chorus: F# E A B F# E A B Take me to your backwoods now F# E A B F# E A B Take me to your backwoods now Spinning down from the clouds like a tornado Spinnin’ out of control like a psychedelic soul With a rhythm hitting harder than Larry Holmes Come your long tall daddies of rock and roll, oh no Chorus - x2 F# Mr. Uplift Mofo, my man Bo Diddley Hit sipping a bottle of nickel ripple Play the lickity split finger lickin’ licks For all you wicked city slick chicks And all you nitty gritty hicks We’ll make your nipples ripple Make you wanna dip your dipple Make you wanna soak your hickory stick That’s right Because my man has a grip on it And I do mean on it Which brings to mind A very sinister minister kind of guy A man named Little Richard Who was born to make them bitches stir That’s right he’ll make the sweet substance drip From the middle of your hillbilly lips And like the farmer milks his cow The Howling Wolf will howl And since times does allow You all can take me to your backwoods now Yo, Slim Chorus: Take me to your backwoods now Take me to your backwoods now Take me to your backwoods now Take me to your backwoods now, wow Take me to your backwoods You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  E  F#  B  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
