_ _ _ [Db] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
I walked all the [Bbm] way from East [Ebm] St.
Louis
I [Bb] never had but that [Ab] one once in a [Bbm] time
[Bb] I _ laid my head [Eb] in a New York woman's lap
[Bb] She laid [Fm] her little cute head in mine
[Bb] She tried to make me [Eb] believe by the rattling [Ebm] of her tongue
The [Bb] sun would [G] never, [F] never shine
[Bb] _ I pawned my silver [Eb] and I pawned my chain
[Bb] Would have [C] pawned myself but I [Bbm] felt ashamed
[Bb] I tried to see you [Eb] in [Ebm] the fall
[Bbm] When you [C] didn't have no [Bb] man at all
I _ _ knowed to meet [G] you in the [Eb] spring
When the bluebirds all was ready to [Bb] sing
Fare [G] thee honey, [Bb] fare thee well
_ _ You can [F] shake like a cannon ball
[Eb] Get on and [Bbm] learn that old Georgia [Bb] crawl
[G] Fare thee honey, [Bb] fare thee well
Play it, boy
_ _ [Ab] _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _
_ _ _ [Bb] I laid my head [Eb] in a [Ebm] ballroom door
[Bbm] And I can't get [F] drunk, drunk no more
[Bb] _ If you can't do the [Gb] sugary
Get [Eb] your cell phone out of this house for [Bb] me
[G] Fare thee baby, [Bb] fare thee well
I _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] _ tried to see you in the spring
When the [Bbm] bluebirds all was ready to [Bb] sing
Fare thee honey, fare thee well _
And I walked [D] on back to [Ebm] East St.
Louis
[Bb] Never had, but that one once in [Db] time
