[Bb] [C] [G]
[Gm] All [G]
[Bb] [Cm] [G] across the night, humid and [Bb] hot [C] [G] When you're bottling up your blues
Are all that you [Bb] got [C] [G] Oh, I didn't want to do it
But it gave me no [Bb] choice [C] I [G]
poisoned the whiskey
With cold red [Gm] wine [G] [C] It's hot on the floor
And my girl is loud So [G] I topped off the bottle
With more than [Bb] half [C] When [D]
you're poisoning men with alcohol
And all the liquor gets the flame [A] [E] And I [Em] hear a rooster
[B]
[G] Just the same Oh,
[Gm] [C] [G]
[Bb] [G]
boy, to play his guitar [Gm] blues
[G] To entertain white folks And I'm pale and [Gm] bruised
[C] [G] Only turned sour queen When it went for my [Bb] wife
[C] [G] Even Sonny Boy Williamson Couldn't save his life
[Gm] [C] Boy, you look like a bottle [G] Out of [Em] no man's hand
[G] You got a slow pain in the back of your neck On the Mississippi line
I [D]
ain't saying he deserved it Oh, for crossing the line
Yeah, but I killed [Ab] Ronald Johnson
[G]
Oh, [C] the straight [G] line
Well, [Gm]

[Bb]
[G] So I kept my mouth shut, awaiting my [Gm] fate, [G] striving in the history [Gm] of 1938.
And as a friend [G] who grew rougher,
[A] and all died of old age, [Gm] [G] my secret grew lonelier.
Like his music on a spade, [C] I may never tell the public the reason he's dead.
It [G] was only a little howling before this flute caught my [Bb] ear.
[C] [D] I ain't sayin' I regret it after all these [Dm]
years.
[D] Yeah, I killed [A] Ralph Johnson.

very [N] much.
Thank [G] you so much.
