]]> This is a Shirelles cover, who I think play it in E or A. The Detroit Cobras play it in C, and it’s faster and maybe better. If you know your twelve-bar blues, this song pretty much tabs itself.

INTRO:
C F (x3)
G

VERSE:
C       F       C        F
You say hop and I hop
C       F        C       F
You say stop and I stop
F       Bb       F
You say jump and I jump
Bb           C        F              C      F
Anything you say, I'm like a hunk of clay
              G      F                       C       F     G
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh

VERSE:
With one wave of your hand (putty putty)
I'm your slave to command (putty putty)
And I gladly obey. Anything you say,
I'm like a hunk of clay.
              G      F                    C     F    C    F
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh

BRIDGE:
F
You can stretch me till I'm ten feet tall
          C
Or rub me down to the size of a rubber ball
        D
You can use me, abuse me, but don't refuse me.
G
Without your love I ain't got nothin' at all, whoa oh.

VERSE:
They say I'm a fool (putty putty)
'Cause you treat me so cruel (putty putty)
But I'll go on this way (putty putty putty putty)
Till my dying day, I'm like a hunk of clay.
I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh.

VERSE CHORDS OVER GUITAR SOLO

I'm just like putty, putty in your hands, uh huh, uh huh.

BRIDGE. VERSE.
