Good evening and welcome.
[G] I hope you're gonna enjoy what we're gonna try and play here.
This evening it's just acoustic material which is nice for a change for me because normally like
it's three quarters of electric music on the show.
Anyway we're gonna have a mixture of a lot
of some traditional blues and some stuff I've written myself recently.
This uh that one was
by Blind Boy Fuller, one of the great blind street singers in the 30s.
He wrote a song called
Pistol Slapper Blues.
This next one is about alcohol and it's called Too Much Alcohol.
I hope you [Eb] enjoy it.

I told [A] a man to put in some water, [G]
he wouldn't put [D] it in, drop it off.
Now whiskey make you drowsy, and gin can make you think, the [Bm] common cold could kill you.
[D] But a woman turned [C] me to drink, I [G] didn't know how to fend it, rest me.
Big up a jug [D] of alcohol.
I told [A] a man to put in some water, [D] he wouldn't put it in, drop it off.

my feet are sure like gin, the little girl I got right now for me.
The ship I'm [F] in, I [G] went down on
the deck, rest me, big up a [D] jug of alcohol.
I told a [A] man to put in some water, [D]
he wouldn't put it in, drop it off.
[A] I [D] said hey bartender, hear me when I call.
[G] I said hey bartender, [D] won't you hear me when I call.

Said [D] hey there sonny boy, what's inside your brown paper bag?
Hey there sonny boy, what's inside your brown paper bag?
He put [A] the bottle back to his lips and [D] said now Roy, that's the best whiskey I've ever had.
