Blues and All that Jazz!

...C...........C.............C.....C7

They tell me Joe Turner's come and gone.

...F7..........F7................C...

They tell me Joe Turner's come and gone..

...G7..........G7................C...

He left me here to sing this song.......

At the end of each phrase is where the children are allowed to improvise with non-tunable percussion instruments.

In closing:

Blues and Jazz, created primarily by African-American influences is the predominant inspiration that helped to create the "pop" music of the world. So I invite you to celebrate Black History regardless of which country that you live. Celebrate through song and dance and let the blues "groove".
