Guitar Man Chords by Little Milton

[Bb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] Oh, [Db] listen!
_ [Eb] [Db] I was born in Mississippi, [Eb]
[Bbm] raised near Cleveland and Greenville.
_ I could hear
the people [Eb] singing [Bbm] back then in the cotton field.
[Db] _ Went to [Eb] church on Sunday, [Db] cause that
[Bbm] was the golden rule.
But when [Db] I got older, I bought [Eb] me a guitar [Bbm] and learned how to play
the blues.
[Eb] I got up on [Ab] stage, [G] a guitar in my [Ab] hand.
[F] That's when I first heard them [Dbm]
[Eb] scream,
Hey!
Play [Bbm] the blues, top man! _
Yes!
[Eb] You're a [Db] guitar man! _ _
Play the blues!
[Eb] You're a [Bbm] guitar
man!
[Eb] You're a [Db] guitar man!
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Db] _ Listening to the [Eb] music [Bbm] of the late, great, G-Wong Walker.
[Db] I
tell you, he sure [Eb] left his [Bbm] mark on me.
_ [Db] _ When I play my [Eb] guitar, [Bbm] it brings back [Eb] memories.
[Db] About in the [Eb] Delta, [Db] how hard things used to [Eb] be.
[G] When I'm up on [Ab] stage, [Eb] a guitar in my [Ab] hand.
[A] I love [F] to hear them [Bb] scream, [Eb] Hey!
Play the blues, [Bbm] guitar man! _
Guitar man!
_ Play the blues! _
You're a guitar man!
_ _ On my [Eb] way to Memphis, [Bbm] stopped at a country store.
A little boy came
up to me as I walked through the door.
He said, when I grow [Eb] up, [Bbm] I want to be just like
you.
I'm going to buy me a guitar, learn how to play the [F] blues.
[Db] He said, [Bbm] Mr.
Milton, if
I never see you [Eb] again, [Bbm] whatever you [Ab] got, [F] _ [Eb] play the blues, [Db] guitar man!
_ [Eb]
[Bbm] Guitar man!
_ You're
a guitar man!
[Eb] He said, would [Bbm] you play a little bit for me right now, Mr.
Milton?
I said,
okay.
_ _ [Eb] _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[Bbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] Now as I was [Bbm] leaving, walking out the door, there was a crowd of people outside
the store.
They said, we know who you are, little Milton.
You're a man of fame.
It would
be an honor, sir, just to shake your hand.
As I drove away, they were waving, and you
know, I waved back.
[Eb] [Db] And all of a sudden I heard them scream, play the blues, _ guitar man! _
Play the blues, _ guitar _ man!
Wherever you go, play the blues, and do the show.
_ Play the
blues, guitar [Db] _ [Bbm] man! _
Play the _ blues, guitar _ man!
Play [Eb] the [Db] blues, you're a guitar [Bbm] man! _ _
