I've been super into Leadbelly lately, and decided to correct the lack of good Leadbelly
tabs on UG. So here it is my first tab (not really, I found it elsewhere on the
internet) that's 100% playable. The cool thing about Leadbelly is that he sits on the
intersection of old time folk and old time blues, so he uses like one progression in
different keys
for all his songs. The actual guitar playing isn't that hard. I swear to god, if I got a
twelve string and started juicing up on testosterone, I could make the song below sound
just like Leadbelly!

(G7) - (C7) - (G) - (D7)
(G7) Me and my wife went all over town
And everywhere we went people turned us down
Lord, in a (C7) bourgeois town
It’s a (G) bourgeois town
I got the (D7) bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all a- (G) round
Home of the brave, land of the free
I don’t wanna be mistreated by no bourgeoisie
Lord, in a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Well, me and my wife we were standing upstairs
We heard the white man say “I don’t want no niggers up there��?
Lord, in a bourgeois town
Uhm, bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
Well, them white folks in Washington they know how
To call a colored man a nigger just to see him bow
Lord, it’s a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
I tell all the colored folks to listen to me
Don't try to find you no home in Washington, DC
‘Cause it’s a bourgeois town
Uhm, the bourgeois town
I got the bourgeois blues
Gonna spread the news all around
