Blues shuffle 6/8 
bpm 80


 B
I walked that dusty road, to the graveyard today,
                            E                     B
Yeah, I walked that lonely road, to the graveyard today,
                     F#                            B
Had to bury my best friend,  Lord I had no words to say.

 B
The preacher spoke softly, but the wind cried loud,
                          E                         B
Yeah, the preacher spoke low, while the sky wore a shroud,
                 F#
My heart felt heavy, standing in that grieving crowd.

(Chorus)
                   (F#-F#-B-F#)                   (F#-F#-B-F#)
I held that shovel tight, hands trembling in pain,
                   (F#-F#-B-F#)                   (F#-F#-B-F#)
Yeah, I held that cold steel, tears falling like rain,
                                    (B A G E)
Every clump of dirt whispered his name again.

 B
Now the sun’s going down, and the shadows won’t end,
                          E                         B
Yeah, the night’s closing in where the lost souls descend,
                 F#                            B
I left part of my heart in the ground with my friend.


(Chorus 2)
                   (F#-F#-B-F#)                   (F#-F#-B-F#)
So I’m walking back home, with that graveyard song,
                   (F#-F#-B-F#)                   (F#-F#-B-F#)
Yeah, I’m carrying memories, trying to stay strong,
                                                          (B A G E)
But the blues gonna hold me… for a long, long time they’ll linger on.

(Outro)
 B                                          pentatonic lick  B 
Yeah, the blues gonna hold me, hold me tight,
                       E                     B   pentatonic lick  B 
In the silence of the dark, in the cold of the night,
           F#                        B
Graveyard blues, my soul’s endless fight.

Solo  B 

 B E B F# B
