Hundred and ten in the shade John Fogerty Intro-(D-------D) Verse 1- Way out there in the cotton Sun beatin' down so hard Sweat rollin' of this shovel Diggin' in the devil's boneyard Pre-Chorus- Sure like a cool drink of water Soft rag to soothe my face Sure like a woman to talk to in this place Chorus- It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me Verse 2- Handle so hot I can't stand it Might shrivel up and blow away Noonday sun make you crazy Least, that's what the old men say Pre-Chorus- Bottom land hard as a gravestone Couldn't cut it with an axe Gonna lay me down right here And that's a fact Chorus- It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me Solo (D--D) Verse 3- Sometimes late in the evenin' Everything is quiet and still I set here and think about leavin' Lord, I guess I never will Pre-Chorus- Heartache down in that city Bright light scares me anyway Sure like a woman to talk in this place Chorus-(Repeat 4x until fade-out) It's a hundred and ten Hundred and ten in the shade Goin' way down Mama won't you carry me
