Chords for Roots of Blues -- Lead Belly „ Goodnight Irene"

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ Thank you, you people are so good.
I could sing for you all [B] night, but it's coming time.
But I have to close this time.
I hope I'll come back again.
I hope I'll be walking better, which I will.
I'm going to either get better or worse
after I leave here, because I'm going
to the right doctor this time.
I went to one doctor a little too long.
I don't think he [D] knew what he was doing.
[G] But I think I'm going to find [Bb] the right one.
[B] Until we meet again, I will sign off with this [Bb] God
with you [B] by singing.
I hope he's joining, [Bb] of course, with me [Eb] by [Bb] singing. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ [F] Irene, goodnight. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Irene, _ _ _ [Bb] goodnight. _ _ _
_ Goodnight, _ _ Irene. _
[Eb] Goodnight, _ Irene.
_ [F] I get you in [Bb] my dreams.
Now come with me.
There's a little girl that's sitting right here.
I don't know where people live, but they ought to buy her guitar,
because she's carrying her hand just like I'm carrying mine.
And she's been doing it ever since I've been here.
What I mean, she's got the rhythm. _ _
Really got the rhythm.
So we'll sign a bet with God by saying, Irene,
and come with me. _ _ _ _
Goodnight.
_ _ [G] _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Goodnight.
Irene, _ [Eb] _ [Bb] goodnight. _ _ _
Goodnight, _ _ Irene. _
[Eb] Goodnight, _ _ Irene.
_ [F] I get you in my [Bb] dreams.
_ _ _ [Eb] I [Bb] ask your mother [Cm] for you.
What she [F] said. _
_ Told me you was too [Bb] young.
_ _ _ [Eb] I [Bb] wish, dear Lord, [Eb] that I'd never seen your face.
_ _ [Gm] I'm sorry [Eb] you [F] were _ [Bb] always born. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Irene, _ [F] _ _
goodnight.
_ _ _ _ _ Irene, _ _ _ [Bb] goodnight. _ _ _
Goodnight, _ _ Irene.
And [Eb]
goodnight, _ Irene.
[F] I get you in [Bb] my dreams.
Now go to the last verse.
I love _ Irene [Gm] and God [F] knows I do.
_ _ Love her till her [Bb] tears run _ dry. _
_ _ If Irene [Eb] turns her back on me, I'm
[F] going to take more pain [Eb] than [Bb] die. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Irene, [G] _
goodnight.
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _
Irene, _ _ [Bb] goodnight. _ _ _
Goodnight, _ Irene.
_ [Eb] Goodnight, Irene.
_ [F] I get you in [Bb] my dreams.
Now let's moan it together.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
_ Thank _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ you, you [N] people are very good. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
