[
E minorEm] In the year of [
D MajorD]thirty-six,
in the [
C majorC]town of San [
G+G]Antone
[E minorEm] a young man in a [D MajorD]hotel room
stared [C majorC]down a micro[D MajorD]phone.
[E minorEm]He sang [D MajorD]each song once,
and [
B minorBm]sang it once a[C majorC hold]gain.
And [E minorEm]each song come from a [D MajorD]hole inside
where a [C majorC]soul once had [G+G]been.
[E minorEm]Those records [D MajorD]made the jukes,
all [C majorC]throughout the south[G+G]land.
[E minorEm]Pretty women [D MajorD]wondered,
was he [C majorC]charmed or was he [D MajorD]damned?
[E minorEm]Look over his [D MajorD]shoulder,
was there [B minorBm]something there he [C majorC hold]feared?
Turn [E minorEm]your [E minorEm]back for [D MajorD]just one second,
[C majorC]the man disap[G+G]peared.
[E minorEm]Word came [D MajorD]through Saint Louis,
[C majorC]up through Chica[G+G]go
[E minorEm]All the way to [D MajorD]New York City
where the [C majorC]blues just come and [D MajorD]go
[Em}Someone took his [D MajorD]picture once
and the [B minorBm]angels stopped and [C majorC hold]cried.
In his [E minorEm]eyes it was [D MajorD]there to see,
he'd [C majorC]crossed the other [G+G]side.
[E minorEm]In a bar on a [D MajorD]warm spring night,
was a [C majorC]man come to the [G+G]door.
[E minorEm]He had a bottle with a [D MajorD]broken label,
Robert [C majorC]seen his face be[D MajorD]fore.
[E minorEm]He said, "This is my [D MajorD]very best.
Drink it [B minorBm]down, drink it [C majorC hold]slow.
When I call your [D MajorD]name again,
you [C majorC]just pack up and [G+G]go."
[E minorEm]Was it some [D MajorD]kind of trick,
or [C majorC]did he jump the [G+G]price?
[E minorEm]Did he find a [D MajorD]way in Hell
to [C majorC]sell his own soul [D MajorD]twice?
There's a [E minorEm]cry in the [D MajorD]wind tonight
and only [B minorBm]one man makes that [C majorC hold]sound...
[E minorEm]Baby, grab your [D MajorD]hat and coat...
Robert [C majorC]Johnson's back in [G+G]town.
