Church Street Blues


Church street blues by Norman Blake (The Comatose Brothers Version) Transcribed by DWdrummer67. It's a great version, I hope you enjoy it. 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)
