James Blues chords by J. Tillman

Capo IV

Intro & Bridge:
Am  G  C
C  E  Am  G  C

Verse 1:
Am      G           C
James incurred the wrath
C      E      Am
of a jealous woman
Am       G     C
Not long after that
C        E       Am
spending all his weekends
     G      C
Trying to relearn
      G          Am      E      F
How a young man yearns after a noose
G          C
Poor poor James

Verse 2:
Most nights he has dreams
all his teeth are missing
Wakes up in a sweat
Simpleton heart racing
He throws back the sheets
Begins to weep without much feeling
Poor poor James

Bridge

Verse 3:
Desire is what makes
Upright mammals human
Put me out to graze
Give this beast a burden
Because the universe
Makes much more sense without a purpose
Poor poor James
