A Song for Robert Johnson Melanie
CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: Am Em D C Am Em D C Am
Up on north to Detroit
[Em]South down Fifty-[D]one to Memphis
A [C]pistol in his hand[Am]
There's many a good man hidin' in the [Em]shadows
Just [D]waitin' to give that [C]boy six feet of land[Am]
'Little Robert Dusty'
He's been [Em]stealin' hearts so [D]easily
You should [C]hear him when he sings[Am]
Double dealing at the crossroads[Em]
Him and his gui[D]tar, they say
[C]Something's been [D]playin' them[Em]
CHORUS:
Feeling, down [A]in the finger[D]tips[Em]
Bold good feeling, woah, oh
Like you could [A]die for it[G]
And the [D]bird that [C]whistles
And the [G]bird that [D]sings
And the [G]strong, strong [C]heart beatin'
And the [G]stretched out [D]wings[Am]
"Passion be a memory", she says[Em]
Lookin' at the [D]sheets where he used to [C]lie with her[Am]
Holdin' a picture, she's livin' a[Em]gain
Things she [D]felt when [C]he played for her[Am]
'Little Robert Dusty'
He's been [Em]stealin' hearts so [D]easily
You should [C]hear him when he sings[Am]
Double dealing at the crossroads[Em]
Him and his gui[D]tar, they say
[C]Something's been [D]playin' them[Em]
CHORUS:
Feeling, down [A]in the finger[D]tips[Em]
Bold good feeling, woah, oh
Like you could [A]die for it[G]
And the [D]bird that [C]whistles
And the [G]bird that [D]sings
And the [G]strong, strong [C]heart beatin'
And the [G]stretched out [D]wings [Em]that he [A]made
Won't so [Am]easily, won't [D]so [C]easily [Em]fade
The [Am]talk is, he still comes a[Em]round
[D]Hey, from Mississippi when your [C]road is dark as night[Am]
When nothing else gets to your sadness[Em]
He's pickin' up his [D]guitar and he's [C]feeling it right[Am]
'Little Robert Dusty'
And they [Em]stole his heart so [D]easily
He was singin', "[C]All my love in vain"[Am]
Killin' at the crossroads
But [Em]him and his gui[D]tar, they say
[C]Something's still [D]playin' them[Em]
CHORUS: (## fade to end ##)
Feeling, down [A]in the finger[D]tips[Em]
Bold good feeling, woah, oh
Like you could [A]die for it[G]
And the [D]bird that [C]whistles
And the [G]bird that [D]sings
And the [G]strong, strong [C]heart beatin'
And the [G]stretched out [D]wings[Em] he made
[A]Down in the finger[D]tips[Em]
Bold good, bold good feeling, woah, oh
Like you could [A]die for it[G]
And the [D]bird that [C]whistles
And the [G]bird that [D]sings
