[Gm]Say, that boy's a wonderment
[D(add4)/G]No, the kid's a freak
But [G7/F]that kid he don't care none
His black hands [Cm/Eb]resting on the keys
[D7]Hopping like a big old frog
And [Bb/F]hissing like a train
[Cm/Eb]Entertaining royalty
All points [D(omit5)]east, west and in between[Gm]

repeat intro

[Gm]General he's a fine old ma
[D(add4)/G]Treat him like his own
Boy [G7/F]wouldn't know from money
Just throw [Cm/Eb]old Blind Tom a bone
From the times[D7] of King Cotton
May [Bb/F]we present to you
[Cm/Eb]All you Jim Crow monkeys
From [D(omit5)]Harlan County down to Tusca[Gm]loo

[CHORUS]

Play me a[G]nything[B] you like [Cm]
I'll [A]play it back to [D]you
But care[G] ful what [B]you call[Cm] me though
Some t[A]hings cut clear on through[D]
I [Bb]may be an [Eb]idiot
I [Bb]may be a sav[Eb]ant
I d[D/F#]idn't choose this [Gm]life for me
But it's [Cm]something [Dsus4]that I want[Gm]

repeat intro

[Gm]Cocks that old big head aside
[D(add4)/G]Grunts a word or two
[G7/F]Keeps 'em guessing every night
Is he [Cm/Eb]really gonna make it through
Fain[D7]t hearts with their fans out
Starched [Bb/F]collars and cigars
He [Cm/Eb]weren't no use for slaving
I wouldn't [D(omit5)]want him in my [Gm]yard
