F#
"Yas, yas, yas
G#                C#7
My best girl quit me  and I went back
                     F#       D#7  G#7   C#7
and got my diamond ring " 
F#          
Now I've got what it takes
     D#7
It breaks my heart
   G#7
To give it away, ain't going to give it away
       C#7
Now babe, the stuff I've got 

is the stuff that makes
      F#
the fiddlers play,

makes the fiddlers play 
A#7
I saved it up : since the Lord knows when
  D#7
I ain't playin' Santa Claus for any of you men
     G#7
I've had it so long : I hate to lose it
     C#7
'cause ever gets broke : I'll be able to use it

F#                               D#7
Now this little thing is what the whole wide world just 
      G#7 
Dying to get, dying to get
C#7                              A#7
This wise baby, she ain't going to part, from it yet 
  D#7
Now if you're layin' in the jail with your head in your arms
    G#7
It's then you realize : your sweet mama's gone
    F#
Now I've got what it takes
    D#7
it breaks my heart
G#7        C#7       F#     D#7
Aint gonna give it away   I mean,
G#7        C#7       F#
Aint gonna give it away
