Shreveport

I can't decide if this one is capo'd or not. Considering how high Felker's voice is, I'll assume its capo'd
at 2. Capo to fit your voice is my recomendation.

     D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD         A augmentedA   D MajorD
Well on a Greyhound bound for Shreveport I?d been too long in my seat
 D MajorD        G+G    D MajorD       A augmentedA    D MajorD
I stopped off in a no named town to grab a bite to eat
    G+G         D MajorD       G+G       D MajorD
And the ceiling fans they hung?d above a screened in patio
D MajorD           G+G    D MajorD         A augmentedA     D MajorD
Crawfish hotter than a chimney fire the beer was cheap and cold
    B minorBm          F# minorF#m        G+G         A augmentedA
And the bar maid smiled that kind of smile that knocked me off my stool
   D MajorD        G+G    D MajorD         A augmentedA    D MajorD
Said hang around I?ll show you things they don?t teach in school

      D MajorD   G+G         D MajorD    A augmentedA   D MajorD
Across the way an old blues man was playin? on the street
  D MajorD         G+G     D MajorD   A augmentedA       D MajorD
He moaned just like a black and tan, I found myself a seat
     G+G          D MajorD      G+G      D MajorD
He sang ?Lord He lives above us? and ?the devil sleeps beneath?
D MajorD         G+G      D MajorD          A augmentedA     D MajorD
Well he growled it mean and low between his three or four gold teeth
   B minorBm       F# minorF#m        G+G        A augmentedA
And I wished I was in Shreveport just a gamblin? like a fool
   D MajorD         G+G      D MajorD        A augmentedA    D MajorD
Well you can learn somethings down there they don?t teach in school

    D MajorD            G+G       D MajorD      A augmentedA  D MajorD
Well I dreamed that night of a pretty girl, I dreamed of a river boat
   D MajorD          G+G   D MajorD         A augmentedA  D MajorD
?Till a man in blue kicked at my shoes said come on boy, lets go
      G+G      D MajorD        G+G        D MajorD
I said, oh officer, oh officer, please don?t take me to jail
D MajorD          G+G       D MajorD              A augmentedA        D MajorD
Said you can?t sleep outside now my hands are tied, I knew that feelin? all too well
    B minorBm     F# minorF#m         G+G       A augmentedA
And if you play in my town son you?ll play it by the rules
   D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD     A augmentedA        D MajorD
That downtown night shed light on sights that you won?t see in school

    D MajorD   G+G       D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD
Out of Jail I found myself a-walkin? down the road
  D MajorD         G+G          D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD
So glad to hear that ole Jake Brake come purrin? nice and slow
     G+G    D MajorD          G+G           D MajorD
Said I?m goin as far as Fayetteville, I?ve got some room to spare
D MajorD            G+G        D MajorD       A augmentedA   D MajorD
Could you drop me off at Fort Smith, Sir, well I?ve got family there
    B minorBm           F# minorF#m           G+G        A augmentedA
And he bought the Jack on that big black Mack, kickin? back I played it cool
    D MajorD       G+G      D MajorD         A augmentedA    D MajorD
From a shotgun seat I learned some things they don?t teach in school
