Beans, Bacon And Gravy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [D]was born [A]long ago in [F#]1894.
[G]I've [A]seen many a panic I will [D]own.
I've been [C#]hungry, [D]I've been cold,
and now [F#]I'm growing old,
[A]but the worst I've seen was [D]1931.
Oh, those beans, [F#]bacon and gravy,
[G]they al[D]most drive me crazy,
[A]I eat them till I see them in my dreams.
When I wake up each [D]mornin'
[A]and another day [F#]is dawnin',
I [A]know I'll have another
mess of [D]beans.[A][D]
Well, we congregate each mornin'
in the [F#]county barn at dawnin',
and [A]everyone is happy, so it [D]seems.
But when our work is done,
we file [F#]in one by one,
and thank [A]the [Ab]Lord for
one more mess of [C#]beans.
[D]Oh, those beans, bac[F#]on and gravy,
[G]they al[D]most drive me crazy.
I eat them till I see them in [A]my dreams.
When I wake [D]up each morning,
and another day [F#]is dawnin',
I [Ab]know I'll get another
mess of [C#]beans.[D][A][D]
We [A]have [C#]Hooverized on [D]butter for
[G]milk we've only wa[F#]ter,
and I [A]haven't seen a steak in
many a [D]day.
For pies and cakes and jellies,
we substitute [F#]sow [G]bellies,
[F#]for [G]which we[A] work the
county road each [D]day.
Oh, those beans, [F#]bacon, and gravy,
[G]they [D]al most drive me crazy.
I eat them till I see them in [A]my dreams.
When [D]I wake up in the morning
and another day [F#]is dawning,
then I [A]know I'll [Ab]get another
[A]mess of [D]beans.[A][D]
If there ever comes [A]a t[D]ime
when I [F#]have more than a dime
They'll [A]have to put me under lock and [D]key
For I've been broke so [C#]long
[D]I can o[F#]nly sing this song
Of the [A]workers an[Ab]d their [A]misery
[D]Oh those beans, bac[F#]on and gravy,
they [D]al most drive me crazy
I eat them till I see them [A]in my dreams
When I wake [D]up in the [Db]mornin'
and an[Gb]other day is dawnin',
I [A]know I'll [Ab]get another mess of [C#]beans.
[D]Yes, those beans, bac[G]on and gravy,
they al[D]most drive me crazy.
I eat them till I see them in my [A]dreams.
When [D]I wake up in the mornin'
and another day [F#]is dawnin',
well, I [A]know I'll get another mess of [D]beans.
