Walkin' Blues

(Eric Clapton "Unplugged" version)


Words & Music:
Robert Johnson

Tune your guitar to open G tuning (D G D G B D) and play with fingers & slide. I've included a
tab below by an unknown tabber.

Woke up this mornin', feel 'round for my shoes,


You know about you that, babe, had them old walkin' blues,
Woke up this mornin', I feel 'round for my shoes.
You know about that, baby. Woo, Lord! I had them old walkin' blues.

I'm leavin' this mornin', I have to go ride the blinds.


I been mistreated, I don't mind dyin' this mornin',
If I have to go ride blind.
I've been mistreated. Woo, Lord! I don't mind dyin'.

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO:

People tell me, the walkin' blues ain't bad.


The worse old feelin' I most ever had.
People tell me, the old walkin' blues ain't bad.
Well, it's the worse old feelin'. Woo, Lord, the most I ever had.

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO TO END:
