Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]In t[F]he c[C]or[G]ner[Am][F]
of the bar[C]room[G][Am]
Lives [F]the ghost of Langston [C]Hughes[G]
[Am]He's takin' note[F]s and
[C]smokin' [G]cigarettes
[Dm]Sippin' slow[F]ly on his booz[C]e[Bb]
Got them [F]goin' nowhere [C]blues

[Verse 2]
[Am]And on the s[F]tage beneath
the spot[C]light[G][A]
[Am]Woody Gu[F]thrie sings [C]the news[G]
[A]He's alw[Am]ays rea[F]dy for
[C]the good [G]fight[Dm]
Never think[F]in' that he'll [C]lose[Bb]
Got them [F]goin' nowhere [C]blues[Am]
Through the back [F]way in the al

[Verse 3]
[C]ley[G]
[Am]Sellin' all [F]you should refuse[C]
[G]Loo[Am]ks like Jan[F]e
has [C]finally given [G]in
[Dm]Hey, what the [F]hell it ain't
no [C]use[Bb]
Got them goin' [F]nowhere [C]blues[Am]
Out [F]the front around the corner

[Verse 4]
[C][G][A]
[Am]Martin [F]Luther shines your [C]shoes[G]
[A]He's preachin' jus[F]tice
and [C]equality[G][Dm]
I guess [F]Martin's payin' [C]dues
[Bb]He's got them goin' [F]nowhere [C]blu[Bb]es
On the [F]other [C]side

[Verse 5]
[Bb]it's a
free [F]ride[C][Bb]
You've got [F]money you
[C]can burn[Bb]
When the [F]ground [C]shakes[Bb]
and the [F]earth break[C] s
[Am]Which way [F]you gonna turn[C]?[Am]
Are you [F]ever gonna [C]learn?
[Am]

[Interlude 1]
[F][C][G][Am][F][C]
[G][Am]
In [F]the poolroom on the table

[Verse 6]
[C][G]
[Am]Swillin' wine [F]and smashin' cues[C][G]
[Am]They locked him up last [F]night
for fight[C]ing[G][Dm]
Cesar [F]Chavez blew a [C]fuse
He's [Bb]got them [F]goin' nowhere [C]blues[Am]
All the mem[F]bers of the union

[Verse 7]
[C][G][Am]
All [F]the farm and labor [C]crews[G]
[Am]They used to be meet [F]here
by [C]the dozens[G]
[Dm]They disappear[F]ed in ones
and [C]twos[Bb]
Got them goin' [F]nowhere [C]blu[Am]es
So you won[F]der why they come

[Verse 8]
[C]here[G]
[Am]They come [F]here to look
[C]for clues[G][Am]
Passin' [F]time until they [C]live [G]again
[Dm]To fight these go in[F]g nowhere view[C]s
[Bb]Leave these goin' nowh[F]ere
[C]blu[Dm]es
To fight these [F]goin' nowhere views
[C][Bb][F][C]
