D
I had a dream last night
and the night before,
G
I had a dream last night
D
and the night before.
A
Tremblin' Willie McTell
D
he came walkin' through the door
D
he said,"let's go walkin'outward bound,
the moon is shinin' bright,
G
let's go walkin' outward bound,
D
the moon is shinin' bright,
A
since I died, would Bill,
D
I regained my sight."
[Verse 2]
D
Turned around and there stood Ma Rainey,
beneath the shining moon,
G
turn around and there stood old Ma Rainey,
D
beneath the shining moon.
A
She said, "God bless you, would Bill,
D
put his nick in my tune,"
[Verse 3]
D
I heard a beat and I started dancing,
turned around and Willie wasn't there
G
I heard a beat and I started dancing,
D
turned around and Willie wasn't there.
A
I reach out my hand,
D
Ma Rainey vanished in thin air.
[Verse 4]
D
By that lonesome graveyard,
on my way home,
G
by that lonesome graveyard,
D
on my way home.
A
Heard sombody pickin' an ol' guitar,
D
behind and old tombstone.
