Goodbye Jimmy Reed
Ton : AEnglish
IA live on a street named after a saint
WAomen in the churches wear powder and paint
Where the Jews and tDhe Catholics and Muslims all pray
AI can tell a Proddy from a mile away
Goodbye JEimmy Reed JDimmy Reed indeed
Gimme that old time rAeligion it's just what I needE A
AFor thine is the kingdom the power and the glory
AGo tell it on the mountain go tell the real story
DTell in that straightforward Puritanical tone
In the Amystic hours when a person's alone
GoodEbye Jimmy Reed DGodspeed
AThump on the bible proclaim a creedE A
A
You Awon't amount to much the people all said
ACuz I didn't play guitar behind my head
DNever pandered never acted proud
Never Atook off my shoes throw them in the crowds
GoodEbye Jimmy Reed goodDbye and good night
Put a Ajewel in your crown and I'll put out the lightE A
A
They threw Aeverything at me everything in the book
I had A nothing to fight with but a butcher's hook
They hDad no pity they never lent a hand
I cAan't sing a song I don't understand
GoodbEye Jimmy Reed goodbDye and good luck
I cAan't play the record cuz my needle got stuck E A
TransAparent woman in a transparent dress
A Suits you well I must confess
I Dbreak open your grapes I suck out the juice
IA need you like my head needs a noose
GoodbEye Jimmy Reed goodbDye and so long
I tAhought I could resist her but I was so wrong E A
AGod be with you brother dear
If you dAon't mind me asking what brings you here?
ADh nothing much I'm just looking for the man
CAame to see where he's lying in this lost land
GEoodbye Jimmy Reed and eDverything within ya
Can't you heAar me calling from down in Virginia E A
