D
I had a dream last night

and the night before,
                    G
I had a dream last night
               D
and the night before.
                  A
Tremblin' Willie McTell
                             D
he came walkin' through the door
                                 D
he said,"let's go walkin'outward bound,

the moon is shinin' bright,
                         G
let's go walkin' outward bound,
                     D
the moon is shinin' bright,
          A
since I died, would Bill,
                D
I regained my sight."

[Verse 2]
                                  D
Turned around and there stood Ma Rainey,

beneath the shining moon,
                                    G
turn around and there stood old Ma Rainey,
                    D
beneath the shining moon.
                         A
She said, "God bless you, would Bill,
                   D
put his nick in my tune,"

[Verse 3]
                             D
I heard a beat and I started dancing,

turned around and Willie wasn't there
                             G
I heard a beat and I started dancing,
                                 D
turned around and Willie wasn't there.
                A
I reach out my hand,
                           D
Ma Rainey vanished in thin air.

[Verse 4]
                  D
By that lonesome graveyard,

on my way home,
                  G
by that lonesome graveyard,
           D
on my way home.
                              A
Heard sombody pickin' an ol' guitar,
                 D
behind and old tombstone.
