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
