Verse: 

Dm            G                G6               G5      
I said oh oh, Bessie Smith why do you hang your head so low? 
G6             G5      G6             G5                           Dm 
I would die in heaven, I would die in heaven just to meet your soul 
Dm            G                G6               G5   
I said oh oh, Bessie Smith why do you hang your head so low? 
G6             G5      G6             G5                       
I would die in heaven, I would die in heaven just to meet you 

Dm              G                         G6             G5            
Shot to the ego boy it's where this knife runs through 
G6         G5                             Dm 
Three wise men call Bessie down for a dual 
Dm              G                         G6             G5  
Shot to the ego boy it's where this knife runs through 
G6         G5                             Dm 
Three wise men call Bessie down for a dual 

Dm            G             G6               G5   
I said oh oh, father lay me down 
G6 G5                     Dm 
Down on this sunken ground 
Dm            G             G6               G5   
I said oh oh, father lay me down 
G6 G5                     Dm 
Down on this sunken ground 


Dm G G6 G5 (2x)

Dm            G          G6              G5 
But she's got a crucifix hidin' way down in this pit, oh 
Dm          G                G6                 G5 
If you wish to call her out. Call her with your bravest shout 

(Then calmer strumming) 
Dm            G             G6               G5   
I said oh oh, father lay me down 
G6 G5                     Dm (hammer ons while strumming) 
Down on this sunken ground 
Dm            G             G6               G5   
I said oh oh, father lay me down 
G6 G5                     Dm 
Down on this sunken ground 

(Back to picking) 
Dm            G                G6               G5   
I said oh oh, Bessie Smith why do you hang your head so low? 
G6             G5      G6             G5                              
I would die in heaven, I would die in heaven,  
G6             G5    
I would die in heaven just to meet your soul
