The Ballad of Sleepy John
by Jackie Greene
This is my first time doing this, didn't see chords up for this song so I thought
I'd give it a shot. This uses an A harmonica.
intro: |F#m |A |D |A | x 5
F#m A D A
Any day now the sky could fall
F#m A D A
And I'm not one to complain
F#m A D A
But this don't feel like no paradise at all
F#m A D A
Down on the corner in the rain
F#m A D A
Old Kentucky, he's a friend of mine
F#m A D A
He got them Fayette County blues
F#m A D A
Ain't no woman ever keep the man in line
F#m A D A
And there ain't no woman he can refuse
E
Well I stumbled in with my guitar
F#m
And bought a drink behind the bar
E F#m
Sat in with the band until oh two
D |D |A |A |E |E |E |E |
Then I saaaaaaaaaaaaid:
F#m A D A
too much whiskey make me tumble home
F#m A D A
too much Jesus make me pray
F#m A D A
too much love and Lord I feel so all alone
F#m A D A
but that's all right mama, that's OK
F#m A D A
Cause Sweet Serrita, she's behind the bar
F#m A D A
She's got the towel in her hand
F#m A D A
Lord release her, she's only twenty-four
F#m A D A
And she's doing the best that she can
E
Well I don't know, but I been told
F#m
That freedom is an open road
E F#m
But I guess it all depends on how you drive
D |D |A |A |E |E |E |E |
While you're aliiiiiive
|F#m |A |D |A | x 4
F#m A D A
Now people tell me I'm the Lucky One
F#m A D A
But that don't matter much to me
F#m A D A
Cause I ain't nothing but my father's son
F#m A D A
And that's all I'm ever gonna be
