Bill Monroe - DeFord Bailey & "Evening Prayer Blues" chords
Start Jamming...
Back in the early days at the Grand Ole Opry, there was a colored man worked with me.
Today they call them black people.
But anyhow, he was D.
Ford Bailey.
And he played on the harmonica, you know, and I let him come out at the tenth show and he'd do two or three numbers.
And he would do the Pan American Blues, you know, the train blues, and Lost John, and he'd done one called the Evening Prayer [Bb] Blues.
[G] So I'm going to do a little of it for you on this old man in here.
The Evening Prayer Blues.
Now it's just, before they're having a meeting, and this one is leading the prayer,
and the other is saying, Hallelujah, praise the Lord.
And if you listen to it, you can kind of hear it come in on the man in here,
how they would be saying it to women and the men both.
[Bb]
[G]
[Bbm] Thank you.
[N] Thank
