Songs: Ohia – East St Louis (Guitar)

       C         G        D          G
I walked all the way from East Saint Louis

Am                 C                  G
I never had but that one, one thin dime

C         G         D                G
I laid my head in a New York woman's lap

Am                  C            G
She laid her little cute head in mine

C                    G              D                G
She tried to make me believe by the rattlings of her tongue

Am            C            G
The sun would never, never shine

C            G             D        G
So pawned my silver and I pawned my chain

Am             C               G
And I pawned myself and I felt ashamed

Am                  G
I tried to see you in the fall

D                      G
When you didn't have no man at all

Am     C            G
Faree, honey, faree well

C                    G
I'd tried to see you in the spring

D                          G
when the bluebird's almost ready to sing

Am     C       G
fare thee, honey, fare thee

C             G         D        G
And i laid my head in a barroom door,

Am                 C        G
And now i cant get drunk no more

C                          G
If you can't shake like a cannon ball,

D                           G
get self out and do georgia crawl

Am     C      G
Faree, honey, faree well

C                       G
And if you can't do the sugary

D                       G
get yourself on out of this house to me

Am     C      G
fare thee, baby, fare thee

C                    G
I'd tried to see you in the spring

D                          G
when the bluebird's almost ready to sing

Am     C       G
fare thee, honey, fare thee

Am     C       G
fare thee, honey, fare thee

C                    G           D          G
Now I walked all the way back to East Saint Louis

Am                 C             G
Never had but that one, one thin dime
