[Verse 1]
C                        F     C
Next to Louisiana on the Texas side
          C                               F      C
There's a little country joint where they let it ride
          F
There's a boogie woogie man on the piano
            G                         C
And all the backwoods boppers shoutin' go cat go

[Chorus]
        F                        C
They've never been afraid of the Boogie Man
        G7                             C
Nothin' makes you feel better than the boogie woogie can
   F                          C
So don't you be afraid of the Boogie Man
               D7                             G7
He'll take you down to New Orleans where that rhythm all began
   F         G                          C
So don't you don't you be afraid of the Boogie Man

[Verse 2]
C                              F       C
Grandpa's in the corner in his fishing clothes
                           F        C
Reelin' to the rhythm everywhere it goes
        F
All the boogie woogie babies tearing up the floor
          G7                           C
When they get a little bit they want a little more


[Chorus]
        F                        C
They've never been afraid of the Boogie Man
        G7                             C
Nothin' makes you feel better than the boogie woogie can
   F                          C
So don't you be afraid of the Boogie Man
               D7                             G7
He'll take you down to New Orleans where that rhythm all began
   F         G                          C          C
So don't you don't you be afraid of the Boogie Man

[Verse 3]
C                         F        C
In a red El Dorado at the break of day
                             F         C
That Boogie Woogie man'll be slipping away
         F
Although you're never gonna know it when he's out of sight
             G7                    C
He'll shut a juke box down again tomorrow night

[Chorus]
     F                        C
He's never been afraid of the Boogie Man
        G7                             C
Nothin' makes you feel better than the boogie woogie can
   F                          C
So don't you be afraid of the Boogie Man
               D7                             G7
He'll take you down to New Orleans where that rhythm all began

[Outro]
   F                  C
It works for me it'll work for you
           D7                        G7
He'll have you doin' things that you didn't know you knew
   F         G                      F
So don't you don't you be afraid no don't ya
G                          C
Don't you be afraid of the Boogie Man no
