Verse
E
I live on a street named after a saint
E
Women in the churches wear powder and paint
A
Where the Jews and the Catholics and Muslims all pray
E
I can tell a Proddy from a mile away
B A
Goodbye Jimmy Reed, Jimmy Reed indeed
E B E
Gimme that old time religion, it’s just what I need
[Verse 2]
E
For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory
E
Go tell it on the mountain, go tell the real story
A
Tell in that straightforward Puritanical tone
E
In the mystic hours, when a person’s alone
B A
Goodbye Jimmy Reed, Godspeed
E B E
Thump on the bible, proclaim a creed
[Instrumental]
E
[Verse 3]
E
You won’t amount to much, the people all said
E
Cuz I didn’t play guitar behind my head
A
Never pandered, never acted proud
E
Never took off my shoes throw them in the crowds
B A
Goodbye Jimmy Reed, goodbye and good night
E B E
Put a jewel in your crown and I’ll put out the light
[Instrumental]
E
[Verse 4]
E
They threw everything at me, everything in the book
E
I had nothing to fight with but a butcher’s hook
A
They had no pity, they never lent a hand
E
I can’t sing a song I don’t understand
B A
Goodbye Jimmy Reed, goodbye and good luck
E B E
I can’t play the record cuz my needle got stuck
[Verse 5]
E
Transparent woman in a transparent dress
E
Suits you well I must confess
A
I break open your grapes, I suck out the juice
E
I need you like my head needs a noose
B A
Goodbye Jimmy Reed, goodbye and so long
E B E
I thought I could resist her but I was so wrong
[Verse 6]
E
God be with you, brother dear
E
If you don’t mind me asking, what brings you here?
A
Ah nothing much, I’m just looking for the man
E
Came to see where he’s lying in this lost land
B A
Goodbye Jimmy Reed, and everything within ya
E B E
Can’t you hear me calling from down in Virginia
[Outro]
