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