Verse 1:
         Dm    A      Dm
Seen the arrow on the doorpost
Dm              A      Dm
Saying this land is condemned
Dm      A        C     G    Bb    C   Dm
All the way from New Orleans to Jeruselem
  Dm       A        Dm
I travelled to East Texas
Dm         A       Dm
Where many martyrs fell
Dm         A         C         G          Bb    C      Dm
And I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell

Verse 2:
Dm     A                 Dm
Well I heard that hooter singing
Dm           A               Dm
As they were taking down the tents
Dm         A        C      G              Bb    C   Dm
The stars above the barren trees, Were his only audience
Dm           A      Dm
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
Dm              A        Dm
Can strut their feathers well
Dm      A      C        G         Bb     C        Dm
But nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell


Verse 3:
Dm       A               Dm
See them big plantations burning
Dm       A               Dm
Hear the cracking of the whips
Dm         A              C      G          Bb       C        Dm
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming, See the ghosts of slavery ships
Dm    A                  Dm
I can hear them tribes a moaning
Dm        A            Dm
Hear that undertaker's bell
Dm  A      C        G         Bb     C        Dm
Nobody can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell


Verse 4:
Dm              A      Dm
There's a woman by the river
Dm        A                   Dm
With some fine young handsome man
Dm             A       C     G Bb      C              Dm
He's dressed up like a squire, Bootleg whiskey in his hand
Dm              A         Dm
There's a chain gang on a highway
Dm    A                Dm
I can hear them rebels yell
Dm         A         C         G          Bb    C      Dm
But I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell


Verse 5:
Dm   A            Dm
Well God is up in Heaven
Dm  A               Dm
And we are what was his
Dm        A         C           G     Bb         C              Dm
But power,greed and corruptable seed, Seem to be all that there is
Dm  A              Dm
I'm gazing out the window
Dm     A         Dm
of the St. James Hotel
Dm         A         C         G          Bb    C      Dm
And I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell
