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