[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

4th fret, I think
+1

Norman plays this on capo 6th C shape, but it translates the same! Good tab.
