_ _ _ _ _ _ Is [C] that alright?
_ _ _ That felt alright for me.
_ Gonna be my kind of love.
_ [B] Gonna switch to acoustic guitar [D] here. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ [N] _ I'm gonna sit on my front porch for a little bit.
Do a little Mississippi John [G] Hurt. _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ Mississippi [F#] John Hurt called this one Richland Women Blues
and that's what we call it [N] too.
I'm gonna send this out to Miss Jessie May Hemphill.
One of the few women who played the blues in her lifetime. _
And she was something else.
_ Miss Jessie May.
_ There's a _ beautiful picture of her on the front of a DVD.
It's got her with a cigarette in one hand and a pistol in the other.
And that's right, she's keeping it real alright.
The title of it is Dare You To Do It Again.
That's what I love [G] about it.
_ And she paved the way.
One of the [D] many people. _ _ _
_ _ And she used to talk about Mississippi John Hurt
[G] She said his people, _ they were from just up the road from her.
_ And she lived in Centotopia, Mississippi.
_ And _ she said that this song took her back to when she was hanging out with her man friend. _
_ [B] _ _ She never had a boyfriend.
She had a man friend. _ _ _ _
[C#] Come on ladies, come on. _ _
And _ _ _ [G] she _ _ _ said, girl, he had a [D] motorcycle.
_ _ _ _ And I loved me that motorcycle, girl.
And when I was full and [G] the moon was bright.
And I, oh girl, when _ _ life was good.
I [Gm] get on the back of that motorcycle and I have to stand up [A] on the back of that motorcycle.
And let the wind blow through my [G] hair. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ So I know Miss Jessie May is somewhere getting ready to go out with her man friend.
We're going to send tribute to her.
_ Rest in the women's blues.
