Doc Watson - Trouble in Mind chords
Start Jamming...
Well, that [C] is really the name, but somebody called me out for a long time ago, and instead of
[E]
He pushed the button, didn't he?
Elementary!
[N]
Elementary, for the most part.
I'm [E] scared.
[Db] [Ab] Richard, you asked me to do [Eb] the first intro [Gm] of the plan, and best [C] I remember, the first
fellow I [Gm] remember hearing sang this [Em] was Carlisle Brothers a long time ago.
[N] I believe Cliff Carlyle sang [E] in the highs of going to school probably
from here in the 30's, way back then.
And he probably found it [N] here in town,
in the old black lonesome boy [E] down on the devil's practice lane,
I think, maybe where it comes from.
Anyway, son of a white blues, I always thought of it, not a devil's blues.

[E] An old sun gonna shine [B] in my back door [E] someday.
[B]
[Db] You [E] can trust [B] a wayward lover, [E] you can tell what they're doing.
[Em]
[E] Make you believe they love [B] you, walk [Gbm] away and [E] leave you blue.
[B]
[E] What am I?
[B] I'm blue, [E] but I won't be blue [A] all the way.
[E] An old sun gonna shine [B] in my back door [E] someday.

I'm [E] going down to [B] my grave,
gonna set [E] myself right down [A] on the ground.
[Em] If [E] these old blues don't need [B] me,
I'm gonna jump right [E] head around.

[G] You're gonna [E] take on board that old [B] train,
sit down and run away from [E] here.
I'm gonna sit in this brown old man's house.
[B]
Then [E] I'm gonna stop and look down [B] the railroad track.
Lay [E] my head down [A] on the line.
[E] Let that 219 [B] train take these troubles off [E] my mind.
[B]
[Em] [Bm] [Eb]
[G] An old [A] blues,
[Em] an old sun [E] gonna shine in [G] my [Bm] back door [G] someday.
[Em]
[E] Thank you.
