Muskrat Candlelight
Willis Alan Ramsey

Willis Alan Ramsey recorded one classic album on Leon's Shelter
 records back in 73 or 74.  The album has been reissued on CD.
 W A Ramsey is still giggin' ya gotta see 'im.  Yes, this is
 that Captain and Tenille thing ev'ryone hated; W.A. version
 will take you to another land.

Notation:  Each chord is a measure, each / is a measure
 of the previous chord.  W.A. actually plays in different
 tunings, these changes are really implied voicings.

Ej7             /
Muskrat Muskrat Candlelight
/                     /
Doin^Ò the town in and doin^Ò it right
       Aj7        /
In the eve^Ònin^Ò
            Ej7       /
It^Òs pretty pleasin^Ò

Muskrat Susie, Muskrat Sam
Do the jitterbug out in Muskrat Land
And they shimmy
Sam he^Òs so skinny

Chorus:
        |Aj7            G#-7          |F#-7
And they whirl and they twirl and they tango
|Aj7         G#-7     |F#-7
 Singin^Ò and jingin^Ò a jango
|Aj7               G#-7    |F#-7
 Floatin^Ò like the heavens above
          |Gj7       |/ D#j7 |Ej7 | / | / | / |
Looks like Muskrat love

Nibblin^Ò on bacon chewin^Ò on cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey would you please
Be my Missus"
She says yes with her kisses

So he^Òs ticklin^Ò her fancy rubbin^Ò her toes
Muzzle to muzzle, now, anything goes
As he wriggle
See Sue start to giggle

Chorus
