Chords for Geoff Muldaur - Got To Find Blind Lemon (Pt1)

_ _ _ _ _ _ I told these guys that morning about a song that Blind Lemon Jefferson _ _ wrote called
One Kind Favor I'll Ask of You, Please See That My Grave Is Kept Clean. _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
[F#] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ And _ _ _ I goaded these guys.
[F#] I had a buzz [N] off and I said,
hey, _ _ _ one kind favor I'll ask of you,
please see that my grave is kept clean.
Come on, _ let's do it.
Let's get some brooms right now.
_ Let's hitchhike to East Texas.
_ Come on, come on.
And they were guys and guys don't back down, so they went, _ _ yeah. _ _ _
Yeah, let's do that, yeah. _ _
So we all found brooms, which is the _ craziest part of this story, I think. _ _ _
_ _ _ Five brooms.
And then we, probably an hour later, half an hour, hour later, _
_ _ we were hitchhiking _ over those bridges and into the bayou country, _
oil country, _ _ Hohman, Morgan City, [G#] _ _ _ _
to [E] Lafayette. _ _ _ _ _
This is part one of the journey. _ _
_ _ _ _ I don't [G] get to the grave in this part. _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ I've got to tell you that because it sounds like I quit, you know? _ _
