Biografía:
January 5, 1932 - September 14, 1998
American blues singer from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was known as "The Tan Canary" for the amazing range of his singing voice and his gospel influenced style. He began his career singing gospel, but crossed over to secular music in 1959 and scored a national hit with the single "I Won't Cry." That was followed by a string of regional hits in the 1960s which included "Release Me" and "Reconsider Me."
In the 1980s and 1990s Adams recorded several award-winning albums for Rounder Records.

Title: A World I Never Made
Artist: Johnny Adams
Author: Doc Pumus/Mac Redennack
>From Album: A Room With A View of the Blues
C E7
The late show is over
Am C7 F F#07
And the city's half asleep
C E7 Am
And I'm lost in a world
D7 G7
That's just too cold, too cold and deep.
C E7
I've turned so many ways
Am C7 F F#07
And I'm spinning like a top
C E7 Am
I wish that I could get off
D7 G7 C G7
Or that the world, that the world would stop.
CHORUS:
C E7
I'm a stranger and afraid
Am C7 F F#07
I'm a stranger and afraid
C A7 D7
I'm a stranger and afraid
G7 C F F#07
In a world I never made.
C E7
I'm always chasing dragons
Am C7 F F#07
With a sword that's made of tin
C E7 Am
And I know in my soul
D7 G7
There's no way that I can win.
C E7
I try, oh, how I try
Am C7 F F#07
But there's no place, no place to go
C E7 Am
There's no one here who knows me
D7 G7 C G7
And no one here I know.
