Rod Clements - Bourgeois Blues
CAPO: 5th Fret
[Intro]
C
[Verse 1]
Listen now people, take a tip from me
Don't try to find a home in Washington, DC
F
It's a bourgeois town
C
A bourgeois town
G
I got the bourgeois blues
C
And I'm spreading the news around
[Verse 2]
Well, the folks down in Washington, they know how
To call a coloured man a nigger just to see him bow
F
It's a bourgeois town
C
A bourgeois town
G
I got the bourgeois blues
C
And I'm spreading the news around
[Instrumental]
C F C G
C F C G C
[Verse 3]
Me and my wife we was going upstairs
And the landlord says, "I don't want no niggers up there"
F
Why, a bourgeois town
C
A bourgeois town
G
I got the bourgeois blues
C
And I'm spreading the news around
[Verse 4]
Well, it's the home of the brave and land of the free
I won't be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
F
In no bourgeois town
C
A bourgeois town
G
I got the bourgeois blues
C
And I'm spreading the news around
G
I got the bourgeois blues
C
And I'm spreading the news around
G
I got the bourgeois blues
C
And I'm spreading the news around
