B7
sure do grieve my mind

My mama's in the kitchen


Sister's in the door
Yeeeeeeah
Sister's in the door
But my baby's in the backyard
Crying daddy don't go
Don't you worry about me mama
Don't count the days I'm gone
Don't you worry about me mama
Don't count the days I'm gone
'Cause you got to remember
Someday your daddy will be back home
All right boy

I'm gonna get me
Knife and a blue

Knife and a blue
So I can cut you
Shoot you if you

The Intro
The intro kicks of with a 4th fret D shape E chord, and has some nice fret work going
on. Focus on getting the timing right here, and setting it up for the progression.

The Progression

Heres the first verse, note the A7 to B7 shape in bar 2, the B to B7 in bar 9 and the B7
to C#7 in bar 10. Also note that Floyd varies bar 12 in each repetition. Sometimes he
plays it like this; sometimes he uses the same notes, but plays it with the rhythm of bar 3
using a quick pull-off which changes the rhythm of the second half.

The Solo
The solo revolves around repeated triplet double or triple stops. Theres a neat
chromatic bass run to get to the B7 in the turnaround, and pay attention to the really
organised use of the thumb in bar 10. Floyd also drops a bar here its an eleven bar
solo in a twelve bar blues!
