It's got to be a Chocolate Jesus...

I saw today's Daily Frail on Tangier Sound showing the minor chord form and how you can keep that form and make every minor chord by just moving it down the neck.. Really cool!

I tried to show this tab in a comment, but it got all jumbled. So hopefully that doesn't happen here.

Take a whiff on me

an easy, kinda bluesy song.




Take A Whiff On Me

words and music by Huddie Ledbetter

(note: the OCMS cover I was thinking of was "Cocaine blues" on Big Iron World ... it has the same chorus...)

G (0000)
C (2012)
D7(0210)

Chorus:

Take a [G] whiff, take a whiff, take a whiff on me,
[C] Ev'rybody take a whiff on me,
[D7] Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on [G] me.

Verses:

[G] I got a woman six feet tall,
[C] Sleepin' in the kitchen with her feet in the hall,
[D7] Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on [G] me.

Two old maids a-fishin' in the creek,
They ain't caught a man since a-way last week,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Want to get a woman let me tell you a word,
Grease your hair down as slick as lard, ...
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

I'm a-walkin' down the road with my hat in my hand,
lookin' for a woman who needs a worried man,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

walkin' down the road, the road is mighty muddy,
Slippin' and slidin' and I can't stand steady,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

I know my woman ain't a-treatin' me right,
She don't get home til the day gets light
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Meet a lot of women out a-ramblin' around,
But the Boston women are the best that I found,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Sing your song all night long,
Sing to my woman from midnight on,
Hey, hey, baby take a whiff on me.

Lesson x 2

Quasi-daily folk song lessons! woot!

here's the latest from the youtubes!

Lesson!

Last night I was bored so I grabbed the ol' 5-string and started banging on it, sat in front of the camera and this happened:



A song lesson! A sometimes incoherent song lesson, but a song lesson nonetheless.
Just doing my part to spread the banjo love. Patrick even put it on his blog! That's a really awesome student to teacher thing he has going on, he makes lesson videos and the students watch said videos then submit their own if they choose to and he and his dad can see progress with their students.

I hope this helps someone, somewhere.
