Been Here Before by Christone “Kingfish” Ingram

[Intro]
E
 
[Verse 1]
E
Somedays I feel so different
E
It's like I don't fit in
E
Some kids like the greatest hits
E
But I dig guitar slim
 
[Pre Chorus]
A                   A7
Some days I wake up grateful
A7                 E
Somedays I'm no so sure
 
[Chorus]
E      B7
I can still hear grandma saying
A7                           E    E7 G E
Child, you've been here before
 
[Verse 2]
E
I don't know where I came from
E7
Or how I got this way
E              E7
Mamma said the sky lit up
E7
With lightning on my birthday
 
[Pre Chorus]
A7
I've always been different
A7                          E
That's one thing that's for sure
 
[Chorus]
B7                       B
I can still hear grandma saying
A7                      E       E7
Child, you've been here before
 
[Verse 3]
E
Looking back I wonder
E7
'Bout all the things I've done
E
No one seems to be sure
E7
Where I came from
 
[Pre Chorus]
A7
I can still hear grandma praying
A7                          E
And she'd be talking to the Lord
 
[Chorus]
B7
She'd say child if I no one thing
A                     E
You've been here before
 
[Solo]
 
[Verse 4]
E
I can't find the footprints
Em7
I can't even find no tracks
E
I don't have no proof
E7
How I made it back
 
[Pre Chorus]
A7
People always tell me
A7                        E
Boy, you've got me an old soul
 
[Chorus]
B7                       B
I can still hear grandma saying
A7                      E       E7
Child, you've been here before
 
[Verse 5]
E
I might have been a rooster
E
I might have been a goat
E
I might have been the king of the jungle
E
A long long time ago
 
[Pre Chorus]
A7
I know is that some blessings
E                          E7
Follow me everywhere I go
 
[Chorus]
B7                       B
I can still hear grandma saying
A7                      E       E7
Child, you've been here before
 
[Outro]
A7
One day down the road
A7            A        E
When I get to heaven's door
A7
I hope I hear grandma saying
A7                      E7       E7
Kingfish, you've been here before
