  Yow!  Brings back memories of my bar band days, howling my balls off trying
  to sing that one just like John Fogerty...
  
  As I recall, the intro riff is just arpegggios based on this fingering
  for an E7 chord: x7675x
  
  The chords are basically just E7, with your occasional D -> A change thrown
  in.  Lyrics, as best as I can remember 'em 25 years later:
  
  	When I was just a little boy
  	A-standin' to my daddy's knee
  	My papa said, "son, don't let the man getcha
  	And do what he done to me"
  
  	And I can remember the Fourth of July
  	A-runnin' through the backwoods bare
  	And I can still hear that old hound dog barkin'
  	Chasin' down a hoodoo there
  
  	Born on the bayou...
  
  	Wish I was back on the bayou
  	A-rollin' with some Cajun queen
  	Wish I was on a fast freight train
  	Just a-chooglin' on down to New Orleans
  
  Classic rock - as opposed to "Classic Rock" - by one of the greatest American
  bands ever...
