_ [Eb] _ [Ebm] _ _ I've _ seen the arrow [Bb] on the dark post _ _ _ _ saying this _
[Bb] land is _ [Ebm] condemned. _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _
[Bb] All the way from [Db] New Orleans [Ab] _ _ [B] _ _
[Db] to _ Jerusalem.
[Ebm] _ _
_ _ _ I've traveled _ [Bb] through East [Ebm] Texas _ where _ _ _ many [Bb] _ martyrs [Ebm] fell.
_ _ _ And I know [Bb] no one [Db] can sing [Ab] the blues [B] like Blind Willie [Db] _ _ _ [Ebm] MacDowell.
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ Well [Ebm] I heard [Bb] that hoot-a-sound [Ebm] _ _
as _ _ [Eb] _
they [Bb] were taking [Ebm] down the tents.
_ _ _ The [Bb] stars above [Db] the barren [Ab] trees [B] were his only [Db] _ _ [Ebm] audience. _
_ _ _ _ And [Bb] charcoal gypsy [Ebm] _
maidens _ _ _ _ can [Bb] strut their feathers [Ebm] _
well. _ _ _ _
But [Bb] nobody [Db] can sing the [Ab] blues _ [B] like Blind [Db] Willie _ _ [Ebm] MacDowell.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
I see [Bb] them big _ [Ebm] plantations burning.
_ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Bb] Hear the cracking [Ebm] of the whips.
_ _ _ _ _
Smell that [Bb] sweet magnolia [Db] blooming.
_ [Ab] _ See [B] the ghost [Db] of _ [Ebm] slavery's cheer.
_ _ _ I can hear them [Bb] _ tribes [Ebm] moaning.
_ _ _ _ _
Hear [Bb] that _ [Ebm] undertaker's bell.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] Nobody [Db] can sing the [Ab] blues _ _ [B] _
like [Db] Blind Willie [Ebm] _
MacDowell.
_ _ There's a woman [Bb] _ by the [Ebm] river _ with _ _ _ _ [Bb] some fine young [Ebm] handsome man. _ _ _ _
He's dressed [Bb] up like a squire.
[Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [B] _
Put [Db] a leg of whiskey in his [Ebm] _
hand.
_ _ There's a chain [Bb] gang on the [Ebm] highway.
_ _ _ _ I can [Bb] hear them rebels [Ebm] yell.
_ _ _ _ And I [Bb] know no _ [Db] one can sing [Ab] the _ [B] blues like [Db] Blind Willie _ [Ebm] _ _
MacDowell. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Well God is [Bb] in his heaven _ and _ _ _ _ we [Bb] all want what's [Ebm] his. _ _ _ _
But power [Bb] and greed and [Db] corruptible [Ab] sin _ _
[B] seem to [Db] be all that there [Ebm] _ is. _ _ _
I'm gazing [Bb] out the window [Ebm] _ _ _ of _ _ the [Bb] St.
James _
[Ebm] Hotel.
_ _ And _ I know [Bb] no _ [Db] one can sing [Ab] the _ [B] blues like [Db] Blind Willie _
[Ebm] _ MacDowell. _ _ _
