Today's Target Pay Per lesson is now live..

Candy Man Blues is by Mississippi John Hurt and is one of his more complex songs. It features the alternating bass technique but not always in the standard order. It also uses some passing bass notes and unusual inversions of chords where open bass strings are used that are not normally part of the chord.

It is in the key of A and includes some interesting chord shapes up the neck in the solo section.

Hope you enjoy this

Cheers

Matt

Well all you ladies gather 'round
That good sweet candy man's in town
It's the candy man
It's the candy man B)

He likes a stick of candy just nine inch long
He sells as fast a hog can chew his corn
It's the candy man
It's the candy man

All heard what sister Johnson said
She always takes a candy stick to bed
It's the candy man
It's the candy man :silly:

Don't stand close to the candy man
He'll leave a big candy stick in your hand
It's the candy man
It's the candy man :woohoo:

He sold some candy to sister Bad
The very next day she took all he had
It's the candy man
It's the candy man :blink:

If you try his candy, good friend of mine,
you sure will want it for a long long time
It's the candy man
It's the candy man :S

His stick candy don't melt away
It just gets better, so the ladies say
It's the candy man
It's the candy man
