Dry bread.....on the table
Em G
Dry bread on the table
Em G
Burn the mill salt the paper
D
And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
C G
There's no place to hide
D
And you can't find love on Locust Street
C G
But you can hear the sunrise crying
C G
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
C G Em
A song for you alone
I play this little riff before going to riff after first chorus (it's the same one you
during the verse). Let the notes with * next to it ring:

Em G
Sad eyes, weeping willow
Em G
Black cat blues, blacked out window
D
And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
C G
There's no place to hide
D
And you can't find love on Locust Street
C G
But you can hear the sunrise crying
C G
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
C G Em
A song for you alone
Am F
Just a glimpse of what love could be
C G
Once a dream that I owned
Am F
What of many lonely longing souls
C G
At least I'm not alone
*Guitar Solo - Luther plays a nice melodic solo in the key of A, mess around with it.
played during the solo are:
Am - F - C - G - Am - F - C - C - end on Em
*Before going to the next verse, play Intro (Riff A)
Em G
Ripe off the vine now lay rotten
Em G
Like a dead end street forever forgotten
D
And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
C G
There's no place to hide
D
And you can't find love on Locust Street
C G
But you can hear the sunrise crying
C G
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
C G
A song for you alone
