The Bourgeois Blues chords by Leadbelly
Guitar chords with lyrics
tabs on UG. So here it is my first tab (not really, I found it elsewhere on the internet) that's 100% playable. The cool thing about Leadbelly is that he sits on the intersection of old time folk and old time blues, so he uses like one progression in different keys for all his songs. The actual guitar playing isn't that hard. I swear to god, if I got a twelve string and started juicing up on testosterone, I could make the song below sound just like Leadbelly! (Huddie Ledbetter/Alan Lomax) (G7) - (C7) - (G) - (D7) (G7) Me and my wife went all over town And everywhere we went people turned us down Lord, in a (C7) bourgeois town It’s a (G) bourgeois town I got the (D7) bourgeois blues Gonna spread the news all a- (G) round

Lord, in a bourgeois town Uhm, bourgeois town I got the bourgeois blues Gonna spread the news all around Well, them white folks in Washington they know how To call a colored man a nigger just to see him bow Lord, it’s a bourgeois town Uhm, the bourgeois town I got the bourgeois blues Gonna spread the news all around I tell all the colored folks to listen to me Don't try to find you no home in Washington, DC ‘Cause it’s a bourgeois town Uhm, the bourgeois town I got the bourgeois blues
