Joe Turner Blues Chords by Big Bill Broonzy

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ This is a song that was sung back in 1892. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ It was a terrible flood that year. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ People lost everything they had, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ their crops, their livestock, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
that means their horses,
their mules, their cows, goats, everything they had on their farm. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And they would all start crying and singing this song. _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ _ They tell me, Jotunna been here and gone. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh, [Ab] they tell me, _ _ [Eb] Jotunna been here and gone. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ They [Bb] tell _ me, [Ab] _ Jotunna [Eb] been here and gone. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ And they would go out _ hunting for rabbits, coons, and possums, anything they could catch. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sometimes they would catch something, and again they didn't. _ _
_ _ _ Then they would come home and they would find flowers, meat, molasses. _ _ _
_ And their homes, they knew that Jotunna had been there and left food for them. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
And they would start crying and singing this song.

_ _ They tell me, _ Jotunna been here and gone. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Lord, [Ab] they tell me _ that Jotunna been here [Eb] and gone.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ They _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] tell me, [Ab] _ Jotunna been [Eb] here and gone. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Then they would _ start out _ looking for wood _ _ _ and stuff to make a fire. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And they would look in their yards and they would find axes, wood, _ _ _ _ that Jotunna had brought there for them. _ _ _
_ _ They never get happy, _ start singing, _ crying this song. _
_ They never get happy and do a little boogie-woogie, too.
