Verse 1
(E minor) And John Lee Hooker
stopped by here today
Said (B flat major) he could make (G minor) a fortune
down (D minor) on Boogie Way
An (E minor) d I said, John, (Esus4)
you (E minor) know the (Esus4) boo gie's (E minor) gone
It's (B flat major) (G minor) the dawn of a (D minor) brand new day
A (E minor) blues man come
from way down south
The taste of whiskey's still in his mouth
All them good times have come and gone
Tell everybody that the heat is on
Child of fortune, child of woe
There's no place left for you to go
Turn back dawn to rising sun
Rolling down the Highway 61 Way
(B flat major) (G minor) (D minor) (E minor) (B flat major) (G minor) (D minor)
I want you to (E minor) stand (Esus4) up straight,
(E minor) (Esus4) take (E minor) a bow
The (G minor) world don't have
no (D minor) favorites now
Find (Esus4) er (E minor) s keepers
is how it's played
Folk (B flat major) s got (G minor) good reason to (D minor) be afraid
Let (E minor) rage and hate and viol (E major) ent crimes
Damn (E minor) these show of (G major) rest (E minor) less times
Child of fortune, child (A major) of war
There's (Esus4) (E minor) no place left
for him to go (Esus4) (E minor)
Now who's at risk?
Who's to blame for all this
killin' in God's name?
He's raisin' hell and judgein' men
Just (G minor) by the colors of (D minor) their skins
Talkin' about (Esus4) child (E minor) of fortune,
child of war
There's (G minor) no place left for (D minor) you to go (E minor) (Esus4)
(E minor) (G minor) (D minor) (E minor) (Esus4) (E minor) (G minor) (D minor)
Well, you can (Esus4) play
the cards and roll the dice (E minor)
(G minor) You'll only get paid once (D minor) or twice
(Esus4) No matter how the games begin
(G minor) In the long run, (D minor) you can't win
(E minor) But John Mayhook
(Esus4) stopped by here (E minor) today
Said (G minor) he could make a fortune
on the (D minor) bogey way
I said, (E minor) well John,
you (E major) know the (E minor) bug is gone
An (Edim) d (G minor) it's the dawn
of a (Dsus4) brand new (D minor) day
Child (E minor) of fortune, child of war,
there's no place left for you to go
Turn (Esus4) (E minor) back toward
the rising sun,
rolling down Highway 61
