Capo 3rd fret
Standard (EADGBE)
I been hangin' round this town, in the low down rain
Watchin' good time Charlie friend, is drivin' me insane
Down on shady Charlotte Street, the green lights lookin red
Wish I was back home on the farm, in my feather bed.
Chorus
Get myself a rockin' chair, to see if I could lose
These thin dimes, hard times hell on Church Street blues
Found myself a picker friend, who read yesterdays news
Folded up page twenty-one, and stuck it in my shoes
Gave a nickel to the poor, my good turn for the day
Folded up my old bill fold, and threw it far away.
Chorus
Break
(Play Entire Verse progression)
Get myself some guitar strings, the gold Black Diamond brand
I'd string up this old Martin box, and go and join some band
Guess I'll just stay right here, pick and sing a while
Try to make me a little change, and give them folks a smile.
Chorus
X2)
