Matchbox Chords

[]Matchbox:Carl Perkins.
A big hit for Perkins in 1956 and
again in '64 when he recorded it
again with the Beatles. Perkins got the inspiration
for Matchbox from an old 1927 Blues tune. KK.

       [A]        [A7]                                [E]
I'm an old poor boy and I'm a long, long way from home.
 
 
           [B]        [B7]                              [E]
