	E	B
Well I	used to wake the morning	before the rooster crowed

	E	A	F#7
	Searching for soda bottles to	get myself some	dough

	E	B
	Brought em down to the corner,	down to the country store

	A	A7
	Cash em in and give my money to a man named curtis loew

	E	B	A	E
	Old curt was a	black man with	white curly hai	r

	E	B	A	E
	When he had a	fifth of wine he	did not have a car	e

	E	B	A	E
	He used to own an old	dobro, used to	play it across his	knee

	E	B	A	E	E7
	Id give old	curt my money, hed	play all day for m	e

(chorus)

	A	E	E7
	Play me a song curtis	loew, curtis	loew

	A	E	E7
	I got your drinking money,	tune up your do	bro

	A	E	E7
	People said he was useless, them	people are the	fools

	E	A	D	A	A7
cause	curtis loew was the	finest picker to	ever play the b	lues

	E	B	A	E
	He looked to be	sixty,	and maybe I was	ten

	E	B	A	E
	Mama used to	whip me but Id	go see him aga	in

	E	B	A	E
	Id clap my hands,	stomp my feets,	try to stay in	time

	E	B
	Hed play me a	song or two

	A	E	E7
Then	take another drink of	wine.

Chorus

Yes sir

	E	B	A	E
	On the day old	curtis died,	nobody came to	pray

	E	B	A	E
	Ol preacher	said some words, and they	chunked him in the clay

	E	B	A	E
	But he lived a	lifetime	playin the black mans	blues

	E	B	A	E	E7
	And on the day he	lost his life, thats	all he had to	lose

	A	E	E7
	Play me a song curtis	loew, hey curtis loew

	A	E	E7
	I wish that you was here so	everyone would know

	A	E	E7
	People said he was useless,	them people all are fools

	E	D	A	A7	E
cause	curtis youre the	finest picker to	ever	play the blues
