Artist/Band: Cox Family Tabs
Song: Cotton Dan Tab
I didn't understand all the lyrics. I wrote the uncertain words in capital
letters. Some aid is always welcome...
=====================================
E
I remember lazy afternoons on the DELTA FARM
A E
an old black man named cotton dan playing his blues guitar
G# A
he was blind and one-armed and his hair was white as chalk
E B A riff2
but lord he could make that guitar talk..
Well, Cotton used used to tell me 'bout the ol' days in the fields
singing songs of glory with that BOLDS man on the hills
when the work was over, at the dying of the day
E B E riff1
he would sing his ol' blues away
(Refrain)
C7# F7#
he would sing his blues his heart would never MELT
B7 A E riff1
closed his eyes shook his head and sang it again
C7# F7#
sing the blues and I would clap my hands
B7 A riff2
I always knew I had a friend in Cotton Dan.
(Solo)
Well, Cotton died last winter withe guitar by his bed
I was way up north when I got the news that he was dead.
Cotton, I've been whishing you were here with me today
so we could sing our ol' blues away.
E
Glory glory halelujah
A E
Glory glory halelujah
G# A
Glory glory halelujah
E B E
he would sing his ol' blues away
Refrain
