Chords for "Downtown Blues" played by Geoff Muldaur

[N] _ I already loved the sound of the [B]
Beale Street [Abm] Sheiks, you know, Frank Stokes, Dan Sane,
[G] from the Kings of the Blues album.
[N] _
I remember when we were young you could [A] come into New York and they had [G] every X label [E] at Sam Goody's.
_ [G]
I wish I had bought them all. _ _ _
[D] I was buying more like the Harlem [Gb] big band stuff from then at that time.
But that Kings of the Blues thing was something else.
And what came out of that for [G] me was it [Ab] became a really good source for [G] _
the Quesken Jug [N] Band.
_ And [C] also the guy playing [Bb] with Frank Stokes, [Gb] speaking of a great singer, [E] the guy playing
with them, [A] Dan [Ab] Sane, I don't know where that came from, this chunky, chunky, [Bb] bum, _ bum,
_ stuff behind him that [F] Jim Quesken does so [G] well. _ _
It's [C] interesting how much that [A] played into the way we approached _ [Gb] the Jug Band music for
the Jug Band.
These guys were very influential to us.
And [Db] I really feel like it gave us an edge.
_ [Ab] _ [Db] We got into grooves in a different way than other people [A] were doing it.
We sort of had a secret key to that particular groove.
_ [Eb] We've tried to keep doing it [N] too.

It's like [C] people near the door.
Tell me old man ain't no come to your house no more.
_ So I'm going downtown, I'm going down now to town.
_ _ [F] I'm going downtown, I'm going [C] down now.
_ _ Hey, hey, hey, little mama, no I'm not carry on. _
Carry on, carry on. _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] Mmmmmmmmmm. _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, look at me baby now, mama, when I get back.
_ [F] Well, look at me baby now, mama, when [C] I get back.
[G] Don't want to find no [C] monkey man lying on my track.
_ I got a gal and a cousin got two that stays in _ [F] town.
Got a gal and a cousin got two [C] that stays in town. _
[G] The reason I dream so [C] nice is because the one might throw me down.
_ So I'm going downtown. _
I'm going downtown.
[F] I'm going downtown.
I'm going downtown.
[C] _ _ Hey, hey, hey, hey, little mama know how I carry on.
