Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
G
feelin' around for my series
Dm
You could tell by that that I got
C
G
those old walkin' blues
Johnny Shines, from Memphis,
Tennessee,
met Robert Johnson in Helena,
Arkansas,
C
by way of a pianist called M &O,
G
who was named for a railroad,
the Mobile in Ohio,
Johnny Shine says Robert Johnson
was the greatest guitar player
I'd ever heard.
The things he was doing
C
was things that I'd never
heard nobody else to do.
G
He was kind of long -armed,
by which he meant
Dm
D
C
it was hard to get too close to Robert.
who could wake him up any time
when he was ready to go.
Say, for instance,
you had come from Memphis to Helena,
C
and we'd play there all night,
probably,
and lay down to sleep the next morning
G
and hear a train and say Robert
D
Dm
I hear a train let's catch it.
he's just ready to go.
We go right back to Memphis
that's where the train's going
it didn't make him no difference
C
G
D
C
G
just so he was going.
We was stayin' in West Memphis
at a place called John Hurt's
and this place burnt down
C
and burnt our guitars up.
I didn't know that Robert knew anything
G
about harmonica at all.
But he came up with this
Dm
C
We were out on Highway 61
G
and he started blowin' this harmonica
and slappin' his hands, pattin' his hands,
blowin' and singin'.
And in a few minutes,
the whole highway
was almost blocked off with cars.
C
People pitchin' us nickels,
He'd sing, I would sing.
Dm
And when we got to Steeles, Missouri,
C
we bought ourselves little guitars.
F
G
We had enough money to
buy guitars with.
And truthfully speaking,
we didn't have no money
when we started out.
C
We'd be on the road for days and days,
and sometimes not much food,
D
C
let alone a decent place to
spend the night,
G
playin' on dusty streets
or inside dirty places of the sort you
played in those times.
And as I catch my breath
C
and see myself looking like a dog,
G
there'd be Robert all clean as can be,
D
C
looking like he's just stepping out of church.
