Chords for The Fingerpicking Blues of Mississippi John Hurt Taught by John Sebastian and Happy Traum.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ Gimme red [F] lipstick _ and some [C] poppy red rouge. _ _
_ [D#] Oh man, those songs are so much fun to play.
Yes, indeed.
Well, we're here today to _ share with you some of our _ memories and love of Mississippi John Hurt.
_ _ One of the things that John did [G] was in his right hand, aside from the fact that the thumb is going in the steady bass,
is he had these little, what I [D] call jump notes, where the index finger [B] would come in _ first and then pick the _ next note with the middle finger and thumb.
So it [G] would be kind of this motion. _ _ _
And it's good to get that motion under your belt a little bit.
_ John, as usual, is thumping [A] on these bottom strings.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So you're starting in A [F] and then moving up [F#] to what is like an A chord that is pushed up to the fifth fret.
I think you could certainly hear this [D] _ opening _ _ _ _ _ _ up that first string to get the E.
_ And those nice descending [Em] _ notes there. _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ And here's that lick that sort of [F] goes through the whole song [Em] the way John played it.
[A] Long A here, barring across and putting your little finger up at the fifth fret. _
_ _ _ _ Open [E] E. _
