John Fogerty — A Hundred And Ten In The Shade Chords

Hundred and ten in the shade
John Fogerty

Intro—(D—D—Am—D—D—D—C—D)

Verse 1—
D                    D
Way out there in the cotton 
Am                  D
Sun beatin' down so hard 
D
Sweat rollin' of this shovel 
Am                         D
Diggin' in the devil's boneyard 

Pre—Chorus—
G
Sure like a cool drink of water 
Bb
Soft rag to soothe my face 
D                    Am               D
Sure like a woman to talk to in this place 

Chorus—
       D
It's a hundred and ten 
G                      D
Hundred and ten in the shade 
      D
Goin' way down
Am                   D
Mama won't you carry me 

Verse 2—
D                     D
Handle so hot I can't stand it 
Am                        D
Might shrivel up and blow away 
D  
Noonday sun make you crazy 
       Am                      D
Least, that's what the old men say 

Pre—Chorus—
G
Bottom land hard as a gravestone 
Bb
Couldn't cut it with an axe 
D                       Am
Gonna lay me down right here 
D
And that's a fact 

Chorus—
       D
It's a hundred and ten 
G                      D
Hundred and ten in the shade 
      D
Goin' way down
Am                   D
Mama won't you carry me 

Solo (D—Am—D)

Verse 3—
D                     D
Sometimes late in the evenin' 
Am                      D
Everything is quiet and still 
D                          D
I set here and think about leavin' 
Am                    D
Lord, I guess I never will

Pre—Chorus—
G
Heartache down in that city 
Bb
Bright light scares me anyway 
D                    Am           D
Sure like a woman to talk in this place 

Chorus—(Repeat 4x until fade—out)
       D
It's a hundred and ten 
G                      D
Hundred and ten in the shade 
      D
Goin' way down
Am                   D
Mama won't you carry me
