Key to the Highway -- Key of E

I got the key to the highway, /E/B/A/A/E/B/A B/E/
Billed out and bound to go.
I’m gonna leave here running;
Walking is most too slow.

I’m going back to the border
Woman, where I’m better known.
You know you haven’t done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.

Live verse: when the moon peeks over the mountains
I’ll be on my way.
I’m gonna roam this old highway
Until the break of day.

Oh give me one, one more kiss mama
Just before I go,
’cause when I leave this time you know i,
I won’t be back no more.

Girl the man you been lovin',
girl, can get my room

I'm going to write a letter,
Phone every town I know (2x)
If I can't find her in West Helena,
She must be in East Monroe, I know

I don't want no woman,
Wants every man she meet (2x)
She's a no good doney,
They shouldn't allow her on the street

I believe, I believe I'll go back home (2x)
You can mistreat me here, babe,
But you can't when I go home
I'm gon' call up Chiney,
She is my good girl over there (2x)
If I can't find her on Philippine's Island,
She must be in Ethiopia somewhere

Let it rain, Let it pour

Let the waves just sweep along

My old gal’s, a good ol pal
And she walk like a water fowl
If I get those deep river blues.
Ain’t no one to cry for me
And the fish all go out on a spree
If I get those deep river blues

Give me back my old boat
I’m gonna sail her if she’ll float
Cause I got those deep river blues.
Going back to Muscle Shoals
Times are better there I’m told
Yes, I got those deep river blues

If my boat sink with me

I got those deep river blues.
Now, I’m going to say, “goodbye”
And if die then I will die
Cause I got those deep river blues

“”
But she got strong quiver, make a strong man lose his mind.

32-20 BLUES – Robert Johnson

If I send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
Send for my baby, man, and she don't come,
All the doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.

If she gets unruly, thinks she don't wanna do,

She got a .38 special but I believe it's most too light.

Them doctors in Hot Springs sure can't help her none.

More than 2000 miles all the way 

Get your kicks on Route 66
Well goes from St. Louie down to Missouri

Kingman, Barstow, San Bernadino
Would you get hip to this kindly tip 
And go take that California trip 
Get your kicks on Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66 












FOLSOM PRISON BLUES – Johnny Cash
Key of E:
/E/E/E/E/E/E/E/E/A/A/A/A/E/E/E/E/B/B/B/B/E/E
I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to San Antone.

When I was just a baby,
My Mama told me, "Son,
Always be a good boy,
Don't ever play with guns,"
But I shot a man in Reno,
Just to watch him die,
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.

I bet there's rich folks eatin',
In a fancy dining car,
They're probably drinkin' coffee,
And smokin' big cigars,
But I know I had it comin',
I know I can't be free,
But those people keep a-movin',
And that's what tortures me.

Well, if they freed me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine,
I bet I'd move out over a little,
Farther down the line,
Far from Folsom Prison,
That's where I want to stay,
And I'd let that lonesome whistle,
Blow my Blues away.








Trouble in Mind – Big Bill Broonzy, key of D
/D/A/D/G/D/A/DG/DA/

Trouble in mind, babe, I'm blue,
but I won't be blue always
Yes, the sun gonna shine,
in my back door someday

I'm goin' down, down to the river,
I'm gonna take my rockin' chair
Lord, if the blues overtake me,
I'm gonna rock on away from here

'Cause I'm trouble in mind, you know that I'm blue,
but I won't be blue always
Yes, the sun gonna shine,
in my back door someday

I'm gonna lay, lay my head,
on some sad, old railroad iron
I'm gonna let that 2:19,
pacify my mind

I'm trouble in mind, baby you know that I'm blue,
but I won't be blue always
Yes, the sun gonna shine,
in my back door someday


It Hurts Me, Too – Elmore James /E/E/A/A/E C#7/F# B/E C#7/F# B/
You said you was hurtin, you almost lost your mind.
Now, the man you love, he hurt you all the time.
But, when things go wrong, oh, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.

You'll love him more when you should love him less.
Why lick up behind him and take his mess?
But, when things go wrong, whoa, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.

He love another woman, yes, I love you,
But, you love him and stick to him like glue.
When things go wrong, oh, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.

Now, he better leave you or you better put him down.
No, I won't stand to see you pushed around.
But, when things go wrong, oh, wrong with you,
It hurts me too.














When You Got a Good Friend /C/F/C/C/F/F/C/C/G/F/C/G
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
Give her all your spare time,
Love and treat her right.

I mistreated my baby
And I can't see no reason why.
I mistreated my baby
And I can't see no reason why.
Any time I think about it
I just wring my hands and cry.

Wonder could I ever apologize
Or would she sympathize with me?
Would she sympathize with me?
She's a brown-skin woman,
Just as sweet as a girlfriend can be.

Babe, I may be right or wrong.
Babe, it's your opinion,
Well, I may be right or wrong.
Watch your close friend, baby,
Then your enemies can't do you no harm.

When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
When you got a good friend
That will stay right by your side,
Give her all your spare time,
Love and treat her right.












One Meatball – /Dm/A7/A7/Dm/Dm/Bb7/A7/A7/Dm C/Bb A7/Dm C/Bb A7/Dm C
/Bb/Dm A7/Dm A7 Dm/

A little man walked up and down,
He found an eating place in town,
He read the menu through and through,
To see what fifteen cents could do.

One meatball, one meatball,
He could afford but one meatball.

He told the waiter near at hand,
The simple dinner he had planned.
The guests were startled, one and all,
To hear that waiter loudly call, "What,

"One meatball, one meatball?
Hey, this here gent wants one meatball."

The little man felt ill at ease,
Said, "Some bread, sir, if you please."
The waiter hollered down the hall,
"You gets no bread with one meatball.

"One meatball, one meatball,
Well, you gets no bread with one meatball."

The little man felt very bad,
One meatball was all he had,
And in his dreams he hears that call,
"You gets no bread with one meatball.

"One meatball, one meatball,
Well, you gets no bread with one meatball."

ST. JAMES INFIRMARY  /Am E/Am/Am F/E/Am E/Am/F E/Am/

It was down in Old Joe's barroom,
On the corner by the square,
The usual crowd was assembled
And big Joe McKinney was there.

He was standing at my shoulder.
His eyes were bloodshot red;
He turned to the crowd around him,
These are the very words he said:

"I went down to the St. James Infirmary
I saw my baby there,
She's laid out on a cold white table,
So so cold, so white, so fair."

Chorus
"Let her go, let her go, God bless her;
Wherever she may be
She may search this wide world over
She'll never find a sweet man like me."
Oh, when I die, bury me
In my high top Stetson hat;
Put a twenty-dollar gold piece on my watch chain
God'll know I died standin' pat.

I want six crap shooters for pall bearers.
Chorus girl to sing me a song.
Put a jazz band on my hearse wagon.
Raise Hell as I roll along.

Roll out your rubber tired carriage,
Roll out your old time hat.
Twelve men going to the graveyard
And eleven coming back.

Now that I've told my story,
I'll take another shot of booze.
And if anyone should happen to ask you,
I've got those gamblers' blues.


NONOBY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT
/C E7/A A7/Dm A/Dm A Dm/F D7/C A/D7/G7/

Once I lived a life of a millionare
Spent all my money, didn't have a care
Took all my friends out for a good time
Bootleg whiskey, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low,
Lost all my good friends, nowhere to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm going to hang on till the eagle grins

Nobody knows you
WHen you're down and out
In your pocket, not one penny
ANd as for friends, you ain't got any

When you finally get back on your feet again
Eveybody wants to be your long lost friend
Said it's mighty strange without a doubt
Nobody know you when you're down and out.





SITTING ONTOP OF THE WORLD
It was in the spring, one sunny day
My good gal left me, Lord she went away
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

She called me up from El Paso
Said come back, daddy, Lord I need you so
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust
Show me a woman a man can trust
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Mississippi river long, deep and wide
The woman I'm loving is on the other side
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

You don't like my peaches, don't you shake my tree
Get out of my orchard, let my peaches be
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world

Don't you come running, poking out your hand
I'll get me a woman like you got your man
Now she's gone and I don't worry
Cause I'm sitting on top of the world



SHAKE YOUR MONEY MAKER

I ain't nothing but a fool
You gotta shake your money maker

You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.

FROM FOUR UNTIL LATE: /C/F/C/C/F/F minor/C/A7/D7/G7/C C7 F F minor/ G/
From four 'till late, I was wringin' my hands and cryin'
From four 'till late, I was wringin' my hands and cryin'
I believe to my soul, that your daddy's Gulfport bound

From Memphis to Norfolk, is a thirty-six hours ride
From Memphis to Norfolk, is a thirty-six hours ride
A man is like a prisoner and he's never satisfied

A woman is like a dresser, some man always ramblin' through its drawers

It cause so many men, wear an apron overall

From four 'till late, she get with a no-good bunch and clown
From four 'till late, she get with a no-good bunch and clown
Now, she won't do nothin', but tear a good man' reputation down

When I leave this town, I'm gon' bid you fare, farewell
And when I leave this town, I'm gon' bid you fare, farewell
And when I return again, you'll have a great long story to tell

And the land is dark

And the moon is the only light we'll see

No I won't be afraid, no I won't be afraid

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon

Should tumble and fall

And the mountains should crumble to the sea

I won't cry, I won't cry, no I won't shed a tear

Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin', darlin', stand by me, oh stand by me

Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me, yeah

Whenever you're in trouble won't you stand by me, oh now now stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin', darlin', stand by me, stand by me

Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me
 

 

AINT NO SUnSHINE WHEN SHE’S Gone

/Am Em G/Am/Am Em G/Am/Em/Dm/Am Em G/Am/

 

Ain't no sunshine when she gone

It's not warm when she's away

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

She's always gone too long

Anytime she goes away

 

Wonder this time where she's gone

Wonder if she's gone to stay

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone

This house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away

 

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

I know, I know, I know, I know

 

I think I should leave the young thing alone

'Cause ain't no sunshine when she gone

Ain't no sunshine when she gone

Only darkness everyday

 

Ain't no sunshine when she gone

This house just ain't no home

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away

Anytime she goes away


I’VE BEEN LOOKING FOR A WOMAN 

/E/E/E/E/A/A/E/E/B/A/E/E/B/B/

I'm looking for a woman

That will work to set me down

I'm looking for a woman

That will work to set me down

I've been looking all night long

She can't be found

 

Well, I met one last night

And I told her what I liked

Well, I met one last night

And I told her what I liked

She said get away from here country boy

Go back to your countryside

 

Well, tell me baby

What you see wrong with me?

Well, tell me baby

What you see wrong with me?

Well, if I had you baby

Be goodlier than any man can be

 

Well, so long mama

Baby bye-bye you, bye

Well, so long mama

Baby bye-bye you bye

Well, now bye-bye baby

With those tears in your eyes
