I Will Play For Gumbo(Chords)

	        Intro 
 
I (C) don't smoke I don't shoot smack 
But I got a spicy monkey riding on my back 
Don't eat beignets too much sugar and dough 
But (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo 
Yes (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo 
 
It started in my grandma's in her kitchen by the sea 
She warned me when where she told me 'son the first one's free' 
It hit me like a rock or some Taekwondo 
Cause (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo 
Oh yeah (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo 
 
A (F) piece of french bread with which to wipe my bowl 
(C) Good for the body, good for the soul 
It's a (F) little like religion and a lot like sex 
(G) You should never know when you're gonna get it next 
At (C) midnight in the Quarter or noon in Thibodaux 
(G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo 
Yes, (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo 
 
I'm not (C) talking quesadillas or a dozen Krispy Kremes 
Or a pile of caviar that's a rich man's dream 
No banana split or filet of pompano 
No, (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo 
Yeah, (G) I will play for gu(C)mbo

Hey (G) I will (F) play for gu(C)mbo

Singing and a-picking for his nightly wage 
Sweating and a frettin' from his head to his toe
