Beale St. Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C#dim][G][C][Cm][A][G][A][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I've
seen the [C]lights of gay [G]Broadway
[C]Old Market Street down
by the Frisco [G]Bay
I've strolled [D]the Prado,
[A]I've gambled [D]on the
[G]boards[D][G][Bb][D]
[G]The seven won[C]ders of
the world [G]I've seen
[C]And many other places I [Am]have [G]been
Take my [Bb]advice, [D]folks,
an[A]d visit B[D]eale Street f[G]irst
[D]If [G]Beale Street could talk,
if Beale Street could talk
Mar[C]ried [G]men would [Am]have to
[G]take their [A]beds and walk
[D]Except one[G] or two who
never [C]drink that [Eb]booze
And the [D]blind man [C]on [G]the corner
[A]Sing [G]with the blues,
[Am]I'd rath[C]er be there than any place
I know I'd rather be [F]there
than any place [D]I k[C]now
[Eb]It's gonna [Dm]take the ser[G]geant
[Baug]far to mak[G]e me go[C][F]
[C]Now [Cm]go to the ri[C]ver, maybe by an[Am]d by[C]
Go to the [F]river,
and there's a [Cm]reason [D]why[C]
[Am]Because the [G]river's wet,
and these streets done gone [C]dry[F]
[Cm][Dm][C]
