Verse 1
(D major) (A major) I live on a street (D major) (A major) named after a Saint
(D major) Women in the churches (A major)
(D major) wear powder and paint
Where the Jews and the Catholics
and the Muslims all pray
(A major) I can tell they're Proddie from
a mile away
Goodbye, (G major) Jimmy Reed, (A major)
(D major) Jimmy Reed, indeed
Give me that old time (G major) religion, (D major)
it's just what I need (A major) (D major) (A major)
Verse 2
For thine is kingdom, (A major)
the power and the glory
Go tell (D major) it on the moun (A major) tain,
go tell the (D major) real (A major) story
(D major) Tell it in that straightforward,
puritanical tone
In the (A major) mystic (D major) hours,
when a (A major) per (D major) son's alone (A major)
(D major) Goodbye, (A major) Jimmy (D major) Reed, godspeed
(A major) Thump on the Bible, (D major) proclaim a creed (A major) (D major)

Verse 3
(A major) You won't amount to much,
the people (D major) all said
(A major) 'Cause I didn't play guitar
behind (D major) my head (A major)
(D major) Never pandered, never acted proud
Never took off (A major) my shoes,
(D major) throw 'em (A major) in the crowd
(D major) Goodbye Jimmy (A major) Reed,
(C major) (D major) goodbye, goodnight
Put a (A major) jewel in your (C major) crown (D major) and I put out the
(A major) lights (D major)
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major)

(D major) They (A major) threw everything at me,
(D major) (A major) everything in the book
(D major) I (A major) had nothing to fight with (D major) (A major) but a
butcher (D major) 's hook
They had no pity,
they never lend a hand
(A major) I can't sing a song that I
(D major) don't (A major) under (D major) stand (A major)
(D major) Good (A major) bye, Jimmy Reed, (D major) goodbye, good luck
I (A major) can't play the record 'cause my
(D major) needle (A major) got stuck
(D major) (A major) (D major) (A major)

(A major) Transparent woman (D major) in a
(A major) transpar (D major) ent dress (A major) (D major)
(A major) Suits you well, (D major) I (A major) must confess
(D major) I'll break open your grapes,
I'll suck out the juice
I need you (A major) like my head needs a
noose
Goodbye, Jimmy Reed,
(D major) goodbye and so long
I thought I (A major) could (C major) resist her (D major) but
I was so wrong
(A major) (D major) (A major) (D major) (A major)
Verse 6
(D major)
(A major) God be with you, brother, dear
If you don't mind me asking,
what brings you here?
Oh, (D major) nothing much, (A major)
I'm just looking for the man
Need to see where he's lying
in this lost land
Goodbye Jimmy Reed, (D major)
and everything within ya
Can't you (A major) hear me calling (D major) from
down in Virginia? (A major)
