Garcia Jerry - Deep Elm Blues guitar tab

-##

Here's "Deep Elem Blues" as done by Jerry Garcia and his (then new, now ex)

wife, Sara, on a 1963 bootleg. They do it bluegrass style. Very nice!

"Deep Elem" is Elm Street, the old red-light district in (I think?) Dallas.

CRD: Deep Elem Blues (traditional, CRD by Bo Parker, Bo.Parker@msfc.nasa.gov)

G

Once I knew a preacher,

Preached the Bible through and through,

He went down to Deep Elem,

Now his preachin' days are through.

Chorus:

C7

Oh sweet mama

G

Your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues.

D7

Oh sweet mama

G

Your daddy's got them Deep Elem blues.

G

Once I had a girlfriend.

She meant the world to me.

She went down to Deep Elem,

Now she ain't what she used to be.

[chorus]

G

When you go down to Deep Elem,

Put your money in your socks.

'Cause them women in Deep Elem

Will sure put you on the rocks.

[chorus]

G

If you go down to Deep Elem

To have a little fun,

Have your ten dollars ready

When the policeman comes.

[chorus]

Enjoy
