Intro 1
(E major) (D major) (A major) (E major)
Verse 1
Well, I (E major) used to wake the mornin'
be (B major) fore the rooster crowed
(E major) Searchin' for soda bottles
To (A major) get myself some some dough (F sharp major)
(E major) Brought 'em down to the corner
(B major) Down to the country store
(A major) Cash 'em in, and give my money
To a man named Curtis (E major) Loew
Verse 2
(E major) Old Curt was a (B major) black man
With (A major) white curly hair (E major)
When he had a fifth (B major) of wine
He (D major) did not have a care (A major)
(E major) He used to own an old (B major) Dobro
Used to (A major) play it 'cross his knee (E major)
I'd give old Curt (B major) my money
He'd (D major) play all day for (E major) me
Chorus 1
(A major) Play me a song
Curtis Loew, (E major) Curtis Loew
(A major) Well, I got your drinkin' money
(E major) Tune up your Dobro
(A major) People said he was useless
Them (E major) people all were fools (F sharp major)
'Cause (E major) Curtis Loew was the (D major) finest picker
To (A major) ever play the blues (E major)
(E major) (D major) (D major) (E major)
Verse 3
(E major) He looked to be (B major) sixty
(A major) And maybe I was ten (E major)
Mama used to whoop (B major) me
But I'd (D major) go see him again (A major)
(E major) I'd clap my hands, (B major) stomp my feet
(A major) Try to stay in time (E major)
He'd play me a song (B major) or two
Then (D major) take another drink of wine (E major)
Chorus 2
(A major) Play me a song
Curtis Loew, (E major) Curtis Loew
(A major) Well, I got your drinkin' money
(E major) Tune up your Dobro
(A major) People said he was useless
Them (E major) people all were fools (F sharp major)

To (A major) ever play the blues (E major)
(E major) (D major) (A major) Yes, sir (E major)

(E major) On the day old Curtis (B major) died
No (A major) body came to pray (E major)
Ol' preacher said (B major) some words
And they (D major) chunked him in the clay (A major)
(E major) Well, he lived a (B major) lifetime
(A major) Playin' the black man's (E major) blues
And on the day he lost (B major) his life
That's (D major) all he had to (E major) lose
