Walking Blues chords by 
John Sinclair
N/A•
Verse 1
G
C
I woke up this morning
G
feelin' around for my series
Dm
You could tell by that that I got
C
G
those old walkin' blues
Johnny Shines, from Memphis,
Tennessee,
met Robert Johnson in Helena,
Arkansas,
C
by way of a pianist called M &O,
G
who was named for a railroad,
the Mobile in Ohio,
D
running from St. Louis
C
down to the Delta
G
and on to Mobile.
Johnny Shine says Robert Johnson
was the greatest guitar player
I'd ever heard.
The things he was doing
C
was things that I'd never
heard nobody else to do.
G
He was kind of long -armed,
by which he meant
Dm
D
C
it was hard to get too close to Robert.
G
Robert was a guy
who could wake him up any time
when he was ready to go.
Say, for instance,
you had come from Memphis to Helena,
C
and we'd play there all night,
probably,
and lay down to sleep the next morning
G
and hear a train and say Robert
D
Dm
I hear a train let's catch it.
C
He wouldn't exchange
G
no words with you
he's just ready to go.
We go right back to Memphis
that's where the train's going
it didn't make him no difference
C
G
D
C
G
just so he was going.
We was stayin' in West Memphis
at a place called John Hurt's
and this place burnt down
C
and burnt our guitars up.
I didn't know that Robert knew anything
G
about harmonica at all.
But he came up with this
D
old harmonica.
Dm
C
We were out on Highway 61
G
and he started blowin' this harmonica
and slappin' his hands, pattin' his hands,
blowin' and singin'.
And in a few minutes,
the whole highway
was almost blocked off with cars.
C
People pitchin' us nickels,
G
dimes, quarters.
He'd sing, I would sing.
Dm
And when we got to Steeles, Missouri,
C
we bought ourselves little guitars.
F
G
We had enough money to
buy guitars with.
And truthfully speaking,
we didn't have no money
when we started out.
C
We'd be on the road for days and days,
G
no money
and sometimes not much food,
D
C
let alone a decent place to
spend the night,
G
playin' on dusty streets
or inside dirty places of the sort you
played in those times.
And as I catch my breath
C
and see myself looking like a dog,
G
there'd be Robert all clean as can be,
D
C
looking like he's just stepping out of church.

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon
Brad
“Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!”
Very reliable tuner

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
