T.B. Sheets Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Look a- yonder at
the dead wagon
They lined around the hospital
I'm lookin' out the window
Seen the dead wagon drive
it away
The TB sheet

[Verse 2]
Woo- ooh- ooh, [Am]laying here
The TB ward, I feel mighty sick
I told the doctor to come here quick
And raise up the window, let me see
The TB, the TB, oh, is killin' me

[Verse 3]
Yeah
[Am]
I told the nurse
To raise up the window
Let me breathe
And bring me, bring me
A little drink of water
My throat is dry

[Verse 4]
She looked [Am]at me
Said, "Johnny"
Woo- ooh- ooh
Ho- oh- oh, oh- oh
"You don't need no water
You don't need no water"

[Verse 5]
[Am]Oh- oh- oh- oh, don't ya know
Don't ya know, don't ya know
The TB, the TB is killin' me
Have mercy

[Interlude 1]
Yeah, yeah
[Am]
Yeah

[Verse 6]
[Am]Yeah

[Verse 7]
Yeah
[Am]
I been here, I been here
In the TB ward
For long, long time
I can see and smell
The TB sheets

[Verse 8]
Raise up [Am]the window
To let me see, let me see
The sunlight, the sunlight
Before I go
The TB, the TB
I know it gettin' me

[Verse 9]
I don't weigh [Am]but
Ninety pound
I won't be here

[Verse 10]
Raise up [Am]the window
Let me see daylight
One more time
The TB, the TB
It gettin' me

[Verse 11]
[Am]Ooh- ooh- ooh
The TB
The TB is killin' me
Yeah, yeah
