Chords for Negro Laughing Song - George W. Johnson - 1901 Columbia Record take 12

One of the best [C]-selling cylinder recordings of the 1890s
[Cm] was the first done by the first African American ever to sing on record, Mr.
George W.
Johnson.
So it was only natural when [C] Columbia started producing disc recordings in _
1901 that one of the first recordings they made was by George W.
Johnson
singing his
_ Negro Laughing Song.
_ It was extremely popular when Johnson sang it from 1890 up until 1910. _
When Columbia started issuing its first [D] double-sided recordings in
_ 1908, [F] it naturally brought these songs back
into vogue.
_ And this is a [Bb] very elusive [Fm] and rare take that can be found, I believe,
only on one of these early double-sided discs from 1908.
So here's the great George W.
[C] Johnson
singing his Negro Laughing Song.
[Cm] And you'll notice that this one, unlike other [Fm] entries here on YouTube,
is backed by orchestra and also contains the elusive third [Cm] verse. _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ As I was coming home _ [N] _ from school,

_ _ [Ab] _ say,
she said, [C] there's my little [Cm] _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ [N] _ _ _
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [F] _

_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ baby, [C] about a week ago,
[Eb] she said, come see, come [Ab] sing a song,
that _ _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ [Bbm] would so complete.
[F] _ _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
That was the first African American ever to sing on record, Mr.
George W.
Johnson.
And that's a pretty elusive and rare take.
That's [C] take number 12 from 1901 [Cm] with orchestra accompaniment of his famous [C] Negro
