My band [F] has quit me after that tune.
[G] _ _
I did a tune today by a good friend of mine and also one of [Eb] my favorite songwriters, _ [Gb] Norman
Blake, and this is another one of his tunes.
And it's from an album of the same title.
[Eb] It's called Church Street Blues. _ _ _ _ _

[Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ Well, I've been hanging out of town, Lordy, that low down rain.
Watching good times, Charlie Prince, is a-drivin' me insane.
Up [Ab] on Shady Charlotte Street, [Eb] Lord, the green lights look red.
I wish I was back home on the farm, Lordy, in my feather bed.
And I got [C] myself a rockin' chair to [Eb] see if I could lose these thin dimes.
Hard time, a hell on Church Street Blues. _

_ I found myself a picker friend and a registered day's news.
I folded up page 21 and I stuck it in my shoe.
I gave Dee a nickel to the poor, my good turn for the day.
I folded up my old billfold and I threw it far away.
And I got myself a rockin' chair to see if I could lose these thin dimes.
Hard time, a hell on Church Street Blues. _ _ _ _

_ _ _ Well, I wish I had some guitar strings, oh, black diamond brand.
I'd string up this old Martin box and go and join some band.
But I guess I'm [F] gonna stay right here in the pig [Eb] and sing a while.
Try to make me a little change and to give you [Eb] folks a smile.
And I got myself a rockin' chair to see if I could lose these thin dimes.
Hard time, a hell on Church Street Blues. _ _
