[Verse]
Seen the a[Dm]rrow on[A7] the doorpost[Dm] [Am] [Dm]
Saying, "This [A7]land is [Dm]condemned [Am] [Dm]
All the [A7]way from [C]New [G]Orleans
[Bb]To [C]Jerusalem." [Dm] [Am] [Dm]
I [A7]traveled through East [Dm]Texas [Am] [Dm]
Where many [A7]martyrs [Dm]fell [Am] [Dm]
And I know [A7]no one can [C]sing the [G]blues
[Bb]Like Blind [C]Willie McTell [Dm] [Am] [Dm]
[Verse]
Well, I [Dm]heard the [A7]hoot owl singing [Dm] [Am] [Dm]
As they were [A7]taking down the [Dm]tents [Am] [Dm]
The stars ab[A7]ove the ba[C]rren trees[G]
Were [Bb]his only [C][Dm]audience [Am] [Dm]
Them [A7]charcoal gypsy [Dm]maidens [Am] [Dm]
Can strut their[A7] feathers w[Dm]ell[Am] [Dm]
But [A7]nobody can [C]sing the blues [G]
[Bb]Like Blind [C]Willie McTell [Dm] [Am] [Dm]

Hear the [A7]cracking of the [Dm]whips [Am] [Dm]
Smell that sweet [A7]magnolia [C]blooming [G]
(And) see the [Bb]ghosts of [C]slavery [Dm]ships
I can hear them [A7]tribes [Dm]a-moaning [Am] [Dm]
(I can) hear the [A7]undertaker's [Dm]bell
(Yeah), no[A7]body can sin[C]g the b[G]lues
[Bb]Like Blind [C]Willie [Dm]McTell [Am] [Dm]
[Verse]
There's a [Dm][A7]woman by the [Dm]river [Am] [Dm]
With some [A7]fine young handsome [Dm]man [Am] [Dm]
He's dressed up [A7]like a squire [C] [G]
[Bb]Bootlegged [C]whiskey in his [Dm]hand
There's a chain [A7]gang on the [Dm]highway [Am] [Dm]
I can he[A7]ar them rebels y[Dm]ell[Am] [Dm]
And I know no o[A7]ne c[C]an sing the b[G]lues
[Bb]Like [C]Blind Willie [Dm]McTell [Am] [Dm]
[Verse]
Well, [Dm]God is [A7]in [Dm]heaven [Am] [Dm]
And we [A7]all want what's [Dm]his [Am] [Dm]
But power and g[A7]reed and corr[C]uptible seed[G]
[Bb]Seem to be [C]all that there [Dm]is
I'm gazing [A7]out the window [Dm] [Am] [Dm]
Of the St. [A7]James [Dm]Hotel [Am] [Dm]
And I know [A7]no one [C]can sing the [G]blues
[Bb]Like Blind [C]Willie [Dm]McTell [Am] [Dm]
