Chords for Fred Mcdowell - Baby Please Don't Go

_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [Fm] My name is Fred McDowell.
[Gb] But my [E] home is in Royaltyville, Tennessee.
_ But it don't make any difference.
It sounds good to me.
I seem like I'm at home in the Mississippi.
And I do not play no rock and roll, y'all.
I just play the street natural blues.
[Db] And whenever you get somebody you know, want to play for, you just call for [E] Fred McDowell.
I was raised on the farm, you understand that.
Now, the only way you can rock Fred, you got to put him in a rocking chair.
He used to lay me down, you understand. _
That's my type of rocking.
_ _ And my type of blues, I play it with a bottleneck. _
I first got this style from a beef bone, you understand.
It come out of a steak.
_ [N] My uncle, when I was a small boy in the country, _ _
he ground this bone down and fired it with a fire.
And put it on a little plank.
But I played it on my ring finger, you understand. _ _
And this bottleneck sound better than the bone,
because you get more [G] clear [E] sound out of it.
And I would like for you to, if you never listen,
_ or you're going to buy one of the tapes, or an album, or anything,
I like for you to listen to what I'm saying.
I make the guitar say what I say, y'all.
_ _ If I say I'm a father, he'll say I'm a father.
_ If I give out a hymn, he'll say it.
_ If I play Mason Gray, he'll sing that tune. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Now, that's my style.
Now, will you hear me then and there? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Hope y'all like it.
Who's never get it?
