Capo: 5 Tuning: E A D G B E
Church Street Blues by The Brothers Comatose. Lyrics are for the version on their debut album. Original song and lyrics are by Norman Blake (I believe) and popularized by Tony Rice. Listen to the recording for the strum pattern. Pretty straight forward folk/bluegrass stuff. Capo on the 5th to match the studio recording. I like to play it on the 2nd fret then use a harmonica in A to do the instrumental solo. Capo 5 [Verse]
CWell I've been hangin' Fout of town Lord Amin that Glow down Crain CWatchin' good time FCharlie friend is Amdrivin' Gme inCsane CDown on shady FCharlotte Street Amgreen lights Glookin' Cred CWish I was back home Fon the farm Lordy Amin my Gfeather Cbed.
[Chorus]

[Chorus]
CGet CmyFself a rockin' Amchair To Gsee if I can Close These Fthin EmdimeAm hard Gtimes FHell on GChurch Street Cblues.
