Stop Now

Written by 
Tabbed by 

Recorded during the sessions for Street-Legal (1978)

Standard blues shuffle with the three main chords. The lyrics don’t make full sense (although the little giggle in the last verse makes the intention quite clear). 

B
I got a woman fine as she can be

She's gonna get mad when she sees you here with me

You better, you had better
E
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
F#
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
F# /e  /d#  /c# B
Before it's too late.
Now she is fire to the wind and snow
But if she comes, you better go
You had better
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
Before it's too late.
E
You felt on your leavin' and you're so desired
B
 I mean you're yearning and you're heeding mine
E
 But I'll tell you what I need or why
     F#          
Your heart beats so you're making me cry
You got big licks, big lips,
Big belly, big hips
But you have better
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
Stop now, stop now, stop now, stop now,
Before it's too late.
