[Intro 1]
[D][C][G][D]

[Verse 1]
Well, I [D]used to wake the mornin'
be[A]fore the rooster crowed
[D]Searchin' for soda bottles
To [G]get myself some some [E]dough
[D]Brought 'em down to the corner
[A]Down to the country store
[G]Cash 'em in, and give my money
To a man named Curtis [D]Loew

[Verse 2]
[D]Old Curt was a bla[A]ck man
With [G]white curly [D]hair
When he had a [A]fifth of wine
He [C]did not have a [G]care
[D]He used to own an old Dob[A]ro
Used to [G]play it 'cross his [D]knee
I'd give old [A]Curt my money
He'd [C]play all day for [D]me

[Chorus 1]
[G]Play me a song
Curtis [D]Loew, Curtis Loew
[G]Well, I got your drinkin' money
[D]Tune up your Dobro
[G]People said he was useless
Them [D]people all were [E]fools
'Cause [D]Curtis Loew was the [C]finest picker
To [G]ever play the [D]blues
[D][C][C][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]He looked to be six[A]ty
[G]And maybe I was ten[D]
Mama used to [A]whoop me
But I'd [C]go see him [G]again
[D]I'd clap my hands, sto[A]mp my feet
[G]Try to stay in [D]time
He'd play me a [A]song or two
Then [C]take another drink of [D]wine

[Chorus 2]
[G]Play me a song
Curtis [D]Loew, Curtis Loew
[G]Well, I got your drinkin' money
[D]Tune up your Dobro
[G]People said he was useless
Them [D]people all were [E]fools
'Cause [D]Curtis Loew was the [C]finest picker
To [G]ever play the [D]blues
[D]Yes[C], s[G]ir[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]On the day old Cur[A]tis died
No[G]body came to [D]pray
Ol' preacher [A]said some words
And they [C]chunked him in the [G]clay
[D]Well, he lived a lif[A]etime
[G]Playin' the black [D]man's blues
And on the day he [A]lost his life
That's [C]all he had to [D]lose

[Chorus 3]
[G]Play me a song
Curtis [D]Loew, Curtis Loew
[G]I wish that you was here so
[D]Everyone would know
[G]People said he was useless
Them [D]people all were [E]fools
'Cause [D]Curtis you're the [C]finest picker
To [G]ever play the [D]blues
