Tonalidad: A major
Verse 1
G
C
I woke up this morning
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,
D
running from St. Louis
C
down to the Delta
G
and on to Mobile.
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.
G
Robert was a guy
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.
C
He wouldn't exchange
G
no words with you
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,
G
dimes, quarters.
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.
