The Ballad Of Curtis Loew
Lynyrd Skynyrd
Key : E
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
E | D | A 

[Verse 1]
---------------------
E       E
 Well I used to wake the mornin'
  B
Before the rooster crowed
E
 Searchin' for soda bottles
   A                    F#
To get myself some dough
E
 Brought 'em down to the corner
B
Down to the country store
A
 Cash 'em in and give my money
                      E
To a man named Curtis Loew
E               B
 Old Curt was a black man
     A         G     E
With white, curly hair
                B
When he had a fifth of wine
   D                A G
He did not have a care
E                      B
 He used to own an old Dobro
        A              G       E
Used to play it across his knee
          B
I'd give old Curt my money
     D                E
He'd play all day for me

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
A                          E
 Play me a song Curtis Loew , Curtis Loew
A
 Well I got your drinkin' money
E
Tune up your Dobro
A
 People said he was useless
     E                  F#
Them people all were fools
      E                   D
Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker
   A                 E D E
To ever play the blues

[Verse 2]
---------------------
E                B
 He looked to be sixty
A            G     E
 And maybe I was ten
                 B
Mama used to whoop me
        D              A G
But I'd go see him again
E                  B
 I'd clap my hands stomp my feet
A           G    E
Try to stay in time
                 B
He'd play me a song or two
     D                     E
Then take another drink of wine

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
A                           E
 Play me a song Curtis Loew , Curtis Loew
A
 Well I got your drinkin' money
E
Tune up your Dobro
A
 People said he was useless
     E                  F#
Them people all were fools
      E                   D
Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker
   A                 E D
To ever play the blues

[Verse 3]
---------------------
E                 B
 On the day old Curtis died
  A      G        E
Nobody came to pray
                B
Ol' preacher said some words
         D                     A G
And they chucked him in the clay
E                B
 Well he lived a lifetime
A                G  E
Playin' the black man's blues
                    B
And on the day he lost his life
       D             E
That's all he had to lose

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
A                           E
 Play me a song Curtis Loew , hey Curtis Loew
A
 I wish that you was here
   E
So everyone would know
A
 People said he was useless
     E                 F#
Them people all are fools
       E                 D
'Cause Curtis you're the finest picker
   A                 E
To ever play the blues.
