Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Me [Am]and my wife went all over town
And everywhere we went,
people turned us down
Lord, in a [D]bush war town,
ooh, in [Am]a bush war town
I got the [E]bourgeois blues,
[Am]gon [D]na spread the news a[Am]ll around
[D]Hom[Am]e of the brave, land of the free
I [D]don't wanna be [Am]mistreated
by no [D]bour[Am]geoisie
In a bour[D]geois town,
ooh, in [Am]a bourgeois town
I [D]got [E]the bourgeois blues
Gon[D]na spread the news [Am]all [D]around[Am][D]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][D]
[Am][E][D]
[Am][D][Am]
Well, me and my wife were
standing upstairs
Heard a white man say,
I don't want no niggas up there
Lord, in [D]that Bushwau town,
in that Bush[Am]wau town
I got [E]the Bushwau blues,
[D]spread the news [Am]all around.[D]
Well [Am]the white folks in Washington
sure know how to call a colored man
[D]a nigger just [Am]to see him bow.
Lord in a [D]bourgeois town,

Gon[D]na spread the news all
[Am]around[D][Am]

I tell the colored [D]folks,
[Am]y 'all listen to me,
don't [D]you try to [Am]find no home in Washington,
D .C., because it's bush[D]wild time.
It's bushwild [Am]time.
I got the [E]bushwild blues,
gon[D]na spread the news all [Am]around.
