[Intro]
D  G  A  D D  G  A  D D  G  A  D D  G  A  D D  G  A  D
 
[Verse]
D                G          A               D
I been hangin' out of town, in that low down rain
D                  G                   D       A    D
Watchin' good time Charlie friend, its drivin' me insane
D             G                     A                   D
Down on shady Charlotte Street, the green lights lookin red
D                    G            D      A      D
Wish I was back home on the farm, in my feather bed
 
[Chorus]
D     G      A       D         A               D
Get myself a rockin' chair, to see if I could lose
       G    D     Bm  A      G                   D
These thin dimes, hard times, hell on Church Street blues
 
[Verse]
D                G              A               D
Found myself a beggar's friend, read yesterdays news
D                G              D       A     D
Folded up page twenty-one, and stuck it in my shoes
D             G                A                D
Gave a nickel to the poor, my good turn for the day
D             G                 D        A   D
Opened up my old bill fold, and threw it far away
 
[Chorus]
D     G      A       D         A               D
Get myself a rockin' chair, to see if I could lose
       G    D     Bm  A      G                   D
These thin dimes, hard times, hell on Church Street blues
 
[Instrumental]
D  G  A  D D  G  A  D D  G  A  D D  G  A  D D  G  A  D
 
[Verse]
D                 G             A                 D
Wish I had some guitar strings, old Black Diamond brand
D                        G             D      A          D
I'd string up this old Martin box, and go and join some band
D                 G              A               D
Guess I'll just stay right here, pick and sing a while
D                  G                D         A       D
Try to make me a little change, and give them folks a smile
 
[Chorus]
D     G      A       D         A               D
Get myself a rockin' chair, to see if I could lose
       G    D     Bm  A      G                   D
These thin dimes, hard times, hell on Church Street blues
D     G      A       D         A               D
Get myself a rockin' chair, to see if I could lose
       G    D     Bm  A      G                   D
These thin dimes, hard times, hell on Church Street blues
