Biography:
The Guess Who is a rock band from Winnipeg, Manitoba that was one of the first Canadian groups to establish a major successful following both in their own country as well as abroad. In their late 60s and early 70s heyday, the guys took influence from late period British invasion bands as well as stuck alongside them on the charts. They were notably the first Canadian rock n roll group to have a #1 hit in the United States thanks to the success of 1970's "American Woman".

[Intro]
[Verse 1]
F7 Bb7
Sure like to boogie after death comes callin'
F7 Bb7
Sure like rockin' when I'm far away
F7 Bb7
"Ooh Pooh Pah Doo" is lettin' Jesse watch the heavens
F7 Bb7 F7
Paint another picture while you're turning grey
[Instrumental Break]
F7 Bb7 F7 Bb7 Ab7
[Verse 2]
F7 Bb7
Everything I knew about was always American
F7 Bb7 F7
Skip a stone lightly and you'll be okay
F7 Bb7
Never really get my rockin' feet to movin'
F7 Bb7 F7
Till somebody's singing "Not Fade Away"
F7 Bb7 F7
Some cat's singin' "Not Fade Away"
[Instrumental Break]
F7 Bb7 F7 Bb7 F7
[Chorus]
Am7 G6
Got mystery train fever
D7/F#
And I'm a believer
Am7 G6
And go down Moses
D7/F#
And I'll send you red roses
Am7 G6 D7/F# Fmaj7
Despai---r and death at an early age
[Verse 3]
F7 Bb7
You sang about truckin' and the band had it movin'
F7 Bb7 F7
If you were a lizard then you might be gone
F7 Bb7
A little self-indulgence never moved a mountain
F7 Bb7 F7
Don't need the fiddler yellin' "Yeah, right on!"
F7 Bb7 F7
Never need the fiddler yellin' "Yeah, right on!"
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
F7 Bb7
You're my angel from a wet salvation
F7 Bb7 F7
You can buy and sell me so you shine me on
F7 Bb7
Your mama worked hard and the acid made you think about it
F7 Bb7 F7
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
F7 Bb7 F7
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
F7 Bb7 F7
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
F7 Bb7 F7
Why, mother water, are the days all gone
