Charlie Parr - 1922 Blues at Electric Picnic 09 chords
Start Jamming...
My name is Charlie Parr.
I'm going to play something called [E]
1922 Blues.
[A]
[D] [A]
[A] [E] [A]
Well I worked on some of the conservatives
And I [D] gave all of my money [A] to the government
I don't know quite how I got spent
[D] But the bank's coming for [A] my deed
Man if the mill can't see [D] low
Let me get my [E] feed for free
Ain't that [A] the way it is?
Well I cut out down the gravel road
And [D] I traded my stock [A] for a V8 Ford
My dad fought down there on a four-boat
[D] That Tyler wrote [A] down to me
[E] Gasoline [A] ain't free
This [Bm] clutch is [A] wearing out my [E] knee
And ain't that [A] the way it is?
[E] [A]
[D] [A]
[E] [A]
[E] [A]
Well I met a man and woman down in St.
[D] Paul
Leaving me to mother [A] and I met a paul
Brother told me he'd bust my jaw
If I talked to his sister again
Told me I wouldn't win
And [F#m] there's blood running [A] out of my chin
And ain't that the way it is?
So I spent all night on a bathroom floor
And I wore this morning my head was sore
Pockets of hemp to bed I want some more
And the barman had got in my car
And the tabs was more about bar
And I leave it down at the bar
And say ain't that the way it is?
[E] [A]
Well I hitched me a ride on the way back home
And I got me a job on a family farm
Times are hard here but I can't roll
And ain't I got nothing more?
And I hold that confidence [D] told
And the roads are looking good [E] for sure
But ain't [A] that the way it is?
Well I worked all summer couldn't save a cent
I gave all of my money to the government
I don't know quite how I got spent
But the bank's coming for my [E] deed
Man if the [A] mill can't see
Let me get my feet free
And ain't that the way it is?
