Good Morning Blues by Leadbelly - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Leadbelly Song List
Version 1
            This is a traditional 12-string guitar blues by Ledbelly with bridge added.
Played with "walking" between chords wth selected hammering. 
For example: 1-When going from E7 to A walk up on the 6th string playing F# G G# A and reverse when
walking from A back down to E, or 2-When going from E7 to B7 on the 6th string play F#, 
on 5th string hammer Bb then play B, then on 4th string hammer Eb, then end on 3rd string playing E.
I add other transitional notes throughout but do not know how to write tabs.

[Verse 1]

           E              A     A7         E7
Well, good morning blues, blues how do you do
           A              A7               E7
Well, good morning blues, blues how do you do
    B7                         A       A7      E7   B7
I'm doing all right well, good morning how are you.


[Verse 2]

           E                       A            A7      E7
I couldn't sleep last night, I was turning from side to side
            A                      A7                   E7
I couldn't sleep last night, I was turning from side to side
   B7               A        A7    E    Em  A  Am  C7  B7
I wasn't sad, I was just dis-satis-fied.


[Bridge]

         A                    A7
Well the blues got me down so early in the mornin’
         E                     E7
And they came upon me fast and without any warnin’
     A                              A7
They stayed around all day and then crept into the night
      B7
And I couldn’t throw them off even with all my might!


[Verse 3]

           E                              A                       E7
I couldn't sleep last night, you know the blues walking ‘round my bed,
           A                              A7                      E
I couldn't sleep last night, you know the blues walking ‘round my bed,
  B7                            A               E     Em  A  Am  C7  B7
I went to eat my breakfast, the blues was in my bread.


[Bridge]

         A                    A7
Well the blues got me down so early in the mornin’
         E                     E7
And they came upon me fast and without any warnin’
     A                              A7
They stayed around all day and then crept into the night
      B7
And I couldn’t throw them off even with all my might!


[Verse3 - Verse 1 repeat]
           E                       A                    E7
I couldn't sleep last night, I was turning from side to side
            A                      A7                   E
I couldn't sleep last night, I was turning from side to side
   B7               A             E    Em  A  Am  B7 E
I wasn't sad, I was just dissatis-fied.
