Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G                C          G
The old man paid no mind to color

                       C             G
Cause he knew that I'd been down and out

                  C       G
Old Joe said that I was a soul brother

                    D7       G
And things I'd been singin' about
[Verse 2]
                    C             G
Well he liked how I played my old guitar

               C            G
So he sit down beside me to sing

            C             G
Together we hummed out an old timey blues

D7             G
Hmm hmm dudely dang
[Chorus]
         C                G
From the same side of the railroad track

                             D7
Where people have nothing to lose

        C                      G
I'm the son of a gambler who's luck never came

                D7          G
And a white man singin' the blues
[Verse 3]
                       C            G
Well we've both done a heap of hard livin'

              C           G
And hard to describe in a song

                  C            G
But the blues was one thing we both understood

                     D7           G
And the old man that hummed right along
[Chorus]
         C                G
From the same side of the railroad track

                             D7
Where people have nothing to lose

        C                      G
I'm the son of a gambler who's luck never came

                D7          G
And a white man singin' the blues
