TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON

A augmentedA
I'm going to sing you a song, a song about a man
Nobody hardly knows him.
Nobody hardly knows him.
Nobody hardly knows him.

G#-A (slide up from G#G# to A augmentedA)  G#-A
Good morning Robert Johnson son.
G#-A		        G#-A
You built your life before your song was sung.
G#-A        G#-A
People agree and now you're number one.
G#-A
So sad to think we had to wait so long.

D MajorD
It keeps on getting better every day,
E MajorE
And maybe someday soon, people will say,


A augmentedA
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.
Ain't nobody here but good people.

A augmentedA
Nobody, nobody here.
Nobody, nobody here.
Nobody, nobody here.
Nobody, nobody here.
