Little Red Rooster

This Golden Oldie was on the reportoire of many Bluessingers and/or bands, like a.o. Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, Big Mamma Thornton. Easy to play on your guitar, just strumming the Bluesscheme with the chords E, A, B7. You can add some variation by putting in an E7 and a G chord, and if you can add a solo between the second and the third verse. And above all sing it. Have fun with our Little Red Rooster, who's too lazy to crow for day. (Sometimes I am that lazy too)
Little Red Rooster
(Rolling Stones)
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
I am the little red rooster
Too lazy to crow for day
Keep everything in the farm yard
upset in every way

The dogs begin to bark
and hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark
and hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange cat people
Little red rooster's on the prowl

If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster
Please drive him home
Ain't had no peace in the farm yard
Since my little red rooster's been gone
