Blind Willie Mctell Acordes

          Am   E       Am
Seen the arrow on the doorpost
      Am     E           Am
Saying, This land is condemned
        E        G    D
All the way from New Orleans
F      G   Am
 To Jerusalem
 
 
  Am        E           Am
I traveled through East Texas
      Am    E       Am
Where many martyrs fell
      E               G        D
And I know no one can sing the blues
F           G        Am
 Like Blind Willie McTell
 
 
       Am          E        Am
Well, I heard that hoot owl singing
           Am       E        Am
As they were taking down the tents
          E         G      D
The stars above the barren trees
F          G          Am
 Were his on---ly audience
 
 
      Am      E     Am
Them charcoal gypsy maidens
    Am          E        Am
Can strut their feathers well
      E        G        D
But nobody can sing the blues
F          G         Am
 Like Blind Willie McTell
 
 
         Am        E      Am
See them big plantations burning
        Am        E       Am
Hear the cracking of the whips
           E     G        D
Smell that sweet magnolia blooming
F         G                Am
 See the ghosts of slavery ships
 
 
      Am        E       Am
I can hear them tribes a-moaning
Am         E          Am
Hear that undertakers bell
      E      G        D
No--body can sing the blues
F           G        Am
 Like Blind Willie McTell
 
 
         Am    E      Am
Theres a woman by the river
          Am         E        Am
With some fine young handsome man
            E         G     D
Hes dressed up like a squire
F           G              Am
 Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
 
 
         Am         E       Am
Theres a chain gang on the highway
       Am       E       Am
I can hear them rebels yell
      E               G         D
And I know no one can sing the blues
F           G        Am
 Like Blind Willie McTell
 
 
      Am     E       Am
Well, God is in His heaven
    Am     E          Am
And we all want whats His
              E         G           D
But power and greed and corruptible seed
        F  G              Am
Seem to be all that there is
 
 
   Am     E       Am
Im gazing out the window
       Am  E     Am
Of the St. James Hotel
      E               G        D
And I know no one can sing the blues
F           G        Am  Am  Am  Am
