PHJim How Come You Do Me Like You Do? (13) How Come You Do Me Like You Do? 03 Feb 20


Last night I was listening to Stuff Smith singing "How Come You Do Me Like You Do?" and when I started playing along, I realised that I'd played those chord changes before.

Intro: D7 / G7 / |C / G7 / |

|:C / B Bb |A / A7 / |D7 / G7 / |C / G7 / |
C / B Bb |A / A7 / |D7 / / / |G7 / / / |
C / / / |C7 / / / |
F / / / |Cdim / / / |
C / B Bb |A / A7 / |D7 / G7 / |C / A7 / |
D7 / G7 / |C / G7 / :|

Searching through my memory, I'd noticed some other songs with these changes, but had never noticed this one. Here are the ones I know. Can you add to my list?

-Bring It On Down - from Paul Geremia (Pink Anderson?)
-Boogie - John Hartford
-Alice's Restaurant - Arlo Guthrie
-Can't Tame Wild Women - Bill Boyd & His Cowboy Ramblers
-They're Red Hot - from Robert Johnson
-How Come You Do Me Like You Do? - Austin & Bergere 1924 (from Stuff Smith/ Greenbriar Boys)

An old song my Mom used to sing, JADA uses the same changes for the A part, but a different bridge.

|:C / B Bb |A / A7 / |D7 / G7 / |C / G7 / |
C / B Bb |A / A7 / |D7 / / / |G7 / / / |
C / D7 / |G7 / / / |
C / D7 / |G7 / / / |
C / B Bb |A / A7 / |D7 / G7 / |C / A7 / |
D7 / G7 / |C / G7 / :|

Can you add any?
