           C                                F
I had the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
         C                               G            C
Now I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town
 
  C                                                 F
I woke up this mornin' feelin' so good, you know I laid back down again
                C                   G                        C
Throw your big leg over me mama, I might not feel this good again
    C                   F
My baby, oh my baby, I love the way she walks
             C                   G
And when my girl gets sleepy, I love the way she baby-talks
    C                              F
My work done got scarce, honey, my work it done got hard,
   C                                           G
I spend my whole day stealin' chickens, mama, from the rich folks yard
 
Whistling -
C  F  C  G  C
 
           C                                F
I got the blues, so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
              C                               G            C
You know I'm feeling so much better, I could cakewalk into town
 
          C                                         F
I want to go on a picnic in the country, mama, and stay all day
         C                                G             C
I don't care if I don't do nothing, just while my time away
 
           C                               F
I got the blues so bad one time it put my face in a permanent frown
              C                              G            C
You know I'm feelin' so much better I could cakewalk into town

I absolutely love this tab. Taj Mahal took a few innocent chords and made something that is both catchy and worthy over time. Listen to the recordings of this song. Assuming you didn’t bring your tuba, this pays well. Thanks for the tab!

Great job, I would add that maybe go to C right at end of "...cakewalk into town"
