Capo on the 1st
Em6: 04200(0)

| Em6   Cmaj7   B7   Em| Em6   Cmaj7   B7  
LEmeadbelly’s in the background being drowned Dout by the grind
He’s singing ’bout C„Rock Island Line“ nobody seEmems to pay him any mind
EmBestsellers and bookshelves full of seDlf-help printed word
Some faint Celegance is heard, now was thEmat Ellington or Bird?
CAnd has it really come to Dthis? Can ignoranBmce Embe bliss?
I’m waiting Dfor - Bmthe other shEmoe to drop
Em6Jazz at the Cmaj7bookstore and B7Blues in tEmhe coffee shop
Em6   Cmaj7   B7   Em| Em| Em|
Jazz at the bookstore and Blues in the coffee shop
There’s a Emman standing at the crossroads with a Ddark roast in his hand
He’s livin’ in Cwhite yuppy land over by Emthe milk and sugar stand
CAnd have I really come foDr this, cup of cafBmfenEmated bliss?
So we browse aCmaj7round all over Am7town sipping cEmoffees that we can’t pronounce
And mCmaj7eanwhile in the Blues Cemetery alB7l the coffins commence to bounce
| Em| Em| Em| Em|
EmLeadbelly’s in the cold ground rollDing over in his grave
The hard road where Cso many slaved is now so sEmmooth and paved
CAnd has it really come to Dthis? Can ignoranBmce Embe bliss?
I’m waiting Dfor - Bmthe other shEmoe to drop
Em6Jazz at the Cmaj7bookstore and B7Blues in tEmhe coffee shop
Em6Jazz at the Cmaj7bookstore and B7Blues in tEmhe coffee shop
