I Will Play For Gumbo chords

[INTRO]

I [C] don’t smoke I don’t shoot smack
But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back
Don’t eat beignets too much sugar and dough
But [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
Yes [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo

It started in my grandma’s in her kitchen by the sea
She warned me when where she told me "son the first one’s free"
It hit me like a rock or some Taekwondo
Cause [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
Oh yeah [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo

A [F] piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
[C] Good for the body, good for the soul
It’s a [F] little like religion and a lot like sex
[G] You should never know when you’re gonna get it next
At [C] midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux
[G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
Yes, [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo

I’m not [C] talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes
Or a pile of caviar that’s a rich man’s dream
No banana split or filet of pompano
No, [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
Yeah, [G] I will play for gu[C]mbo

[SOLO]

A [F] piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
[C] Good for the body, good for the soul
It’s a [F] little like religion and a lot like sex
[G] You should never know when you’re gonna get it next

[C] Maybe it’s that sausage or those pretty pink shrimp
Or that popcorn rice that makes me blow up like a blimp
Maybe it’s that voodoo from Marie Laveau
But [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
Hey [G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo

Now the [C] sauce boss makes his cookin’ on the stage
Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage
Sweating and a frettin’ from his head to his toe
[G] Playin’ and [F] swayin’ with the gu[C]mbo
[G] Prayin’ and [F] buffetin’ with the gu[C]mbo

A [F] piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl
[C] Good for the body, good for the soul
It’s a [F] little like religion and a lot like sex
[G] You should never know when you’re gonna get it next
At [C] midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux
[G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
[G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
[G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
[G] I will [F] play for gu[C]mbo
