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)
