[guitarman12345@hotmail.com] Sent: Monday, December 15, 1997 4:32 PM Song: I'm Ready Artist: Muddy Waters Transcriber: Carl There are 2 versions of this song that I know of. One is a moderately fast shuffle on The Best of Muddy Waters(This Is The Version Most People Know), then there is a really fast version on The London Muddy Waters Sessions with a horn section and stuff. I'm not sure of the key, but I think its D (thats what I have it here in). I really only did this so people would know the lyrics, which are hard to understand. You can play it in any key you want, just have fun. D7 I'm ready, ready as anybody can be G7 D7 I'm ready, ready as anybody can be A7 I'm ready for you, G7 D7 A7 I hope you're ready for me. VERSE 1: (riff)N.C.(D) (riff) I got an axe-hounds face made on a graveyard frame (riff) (riff) Shootin' tombstone bullets, wearin' ball and chain (riff) (riff) I'm drinkin' TNT, smokin' dynamite (riff) (riff) D////////// I hope some screwball...start a fight CHORUS: G7 D7 'Cause I'm ready, ready as anybody can be A7 Now I'm ready for you, G7 D7 A7 I hope you're ready for me. VERSE 2 (NOTE: on the London Muddy Waters version, the 2nd & 3rd verses are switched): All you pretty little chicks with your pretty little hair, I know you think that I ain't nowhere But stop what your doin' an' look over here, I'll prove to ya, baby, that I ain't no square (REPEAT CHORUS) VERSE 3: I been drinkin' gin like never before I feel so good, babe, I want you to know One more drink, and I wish you would I takes a whole lotta lovin' to make me feel good, cause (REPEAT CHORUS) ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
