THE SEVENTH SON
written by Willie Dixon
performed by Johnny Rivers
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo 

(E throughout all verses)

Everybody talkin' 'bout the seventh son
In the whole wide world there is only one

CHORUS:
        A            E
I'm the one, I'm the one
        B
I'm the one, I'm the one
    A                         E
The one they call the seventh son

Verse 2:
I can tell your future, it will come to pass
I can do things to you make your heart feel glad
Look in the sky, predict the rain
Tell when a woman's got another man

(chorus)

Verse 3:
I can talk these words that will sound so sweet
They will even make your little heart skip a beat
Heal the sick, raise the dead
Make the little girls talk out of their heads

(chorus)

(instrumental: 4 measures of E, then pattern of chorus, then 4 more measures of E)

(repeat verse 3)

(repeat chorus twice)
