Blue Tarp Blues Sonny Landreth
Most of the song is quite easy, as it's a simple 12 bar blues.
You can play just the chords, but if you listen to the record that's not all.
Sonny uses one of his techniques (no idea how it works exactly) to create an amazing sound.
Intro: Am Asus4 (repeat some times)
[Am]Air Force One had a heck of a view
[Dm]Air Force One had a heck of a view
[Em]Looking down on the patchwork o[Dm]f the blue tarp blues.
[Am]I went walkin through the water sprung a leak in my shoes
[Dm]I went walkin through the water sprung a leak in my shoes
[Em]that hole in my soul [Dm]give me the blue tarp blues.
[Dm]I got the blues[Am]
[Dm]I got the blue [Am]blue tarp blues.

Solo over Verse Chords
[Am]No it wasn't the [Dm]weather that s[Am]ank me and [Em]you
It was a [Dm]bad mix of [Am]politics, greed and [Em]fools
That l[Dm]evee of lies couldn't [Am]hold back the t[Em]ruth
We're [Dm]in deep but not o[Am]ut of the reach
[Em]Throw me something, mister.
