[Verse 1]
     D      F#  B
I was going downtown
E7                            A
Just the other day to meet my mates
     D         F#       B
They said I'll meet you down
E7                    A
Down in that mean old burying ground
      F#
I can shack my rattle
               A
Rattle my bones
Bm                     E          A
Just don't lay down before you're done
        D   F#    B
You can rag momma rag
E         A               D        B
You can't help it if it's not your bag
E           A        D
Down in the St.Louis cemetaryp
        E         A        D
Got the St. Louis cemetary blues

         D    F#          B
We shall walk through the valley
E7                      A
Walk through the valley soon
         D    F#       A   
We shall talk with the spirits
E7            A
Talk with the spirits soon
     F#
Even Jesus himself shall be our leader
            D   F#    B
And you can rag momma rag
E         A               D        B
You can't help it if it's not your bag
E           A         D
Down at the St. Loius cemetary
        E         A        D
Got the St. Louis cemetary blues
