Intro | Dm | Dm A7 | Dm | Dm ||
Dm A7 Dm Am DmSeen the arrow on the doorpost
A7 Dm Am DmSaying, "This land is condemned
A7 C GAll the way from New Orleans
Bb C Dm Am DmTo Jerusalem."
A7 Dm Am DmI traveled through East Texas
A7 Dm Am DmWhere many martyrs fell
A7 C GAnd I know no one can sing the blues
Bb C Dm Am DmLike Blind Willie McTell
Dm A7 Dm Am DmWell, I heard the hoot owl singing
A7 Dm Am DmAs they were taking down the tents
A7 C GThe stars above the barren trees
Bb C Dm Am DmWere his only audience
A7 Dm Am DmThem charcoal gypsy maidens
A7 Dm Am DmCan strut their feathers well
A7 C GBut nobody can sing the blues
Bb C Dm Am DmLike Blind Willie McTell
Dm A7 Dm Am DmSee them big plantations burning
A7 Dm Am DmHear the cracking of the whips
A7 C GSmell that sweet magnolia blooming
Bb C Dm(And) see the ghosts of slavery ships
A7 Dm Am DmI can hear them tribes a-moaning
A7 Dm(I can) hear the undertaker's bell
A7 C G(Yeah), nobody can sing the blues
Bb C Dm Am DmLike Blind Willie McTell
Dm A7 Dm Am DmThere's a woman by the river
A7 Dm Am DmWith some fine young handsome man
A7 C GHe's dressed up like a squire
Bb C DmBootlegged whiskey in his hand
A7 Dm Am DmThere's a chain gang on the highway
A7 Dm Am DmI can hear them rebels yell
A7 C GAnd I know no one can sing the blues
Bb C Dm Am DmLike Blind Willie McTell
Dm A7 Dm Am DmWell, God is in heaven
A7 Dm Am DmAnd we all want what's his
A7 C GBut power and greed and corruptible seed
Bb C DmSeem to be all that there is
A7 Dm Am DmI'm gazing out the window
A7 Dm Am DmOf the St. James Hotel
A7 C GAnd I know no one can sing the blues
Bb C Dm Am DmLike Blind Willie McTell
