Went uptown to see my cousin
Plays guitar, sounds like a chainsaw buzzin'
In the crowd, I see his mom and dad
I said "Hey, hey, Uncle, man your son is bad"
But sometimes, sometimes bad is bad
I said Cool is a rule, but, sometimes, bad is bad.
Across the street, a neon sign
All you can eat for a dollar ninety nine
Our soul stew is the baddest in the land.
But one dollar's worth was all that I could stand
Back uptown to see Marie
Nobody home, I opened the door with my key
"I love you, Huey" was the note I read
But there's a strange pair of shoes underneath the bed
This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since

included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
