[Verse 1]
Dm
He was sittin’ out on his front porch, pickin’,
G
When I snugged up from behind his shack,
C G
He was playin’ that old beat up guitar,
Dm
Here’s for a dog he called Jack,
Dm
Now my daddy used to tell “boy,
G
Don’t go wandering ‘round his place,
C G
For that man could be satan’s right arm,
G C*
He’s got evil in his face”.
[Verse 2]
Dm
Oh boy he made that old beat up guitar,
G
Sound like a coarse hundred dollar bill,
C G
He lost all of his fingers,
Dm
Workin’ in a Blackwood saw mill.
[Verse 3]
Dm
I used to stand there in the darkness,
G
And I listened while he played,
C G
And until this very day I can still recall him,
Dm C Dm C
The lick he ever made.
[Chorus]
F C
He played funky blues, folky rock,
G Dm
He didn’t know they have a name,
F
He could ring them strings,
C
Make them sing,
G A
Way ahead of the game,
F
He took his thumb,
C
And he’d slap it numb,
G Dm
Say Jack here’s I done,
C Dm C
Now just sit back and listen boy,
G Dm Dm
To the man with the golden thumb.
[Interlude]
Dm Dm
[Verse 4]
Dm
But one night I finally got up my nerve,
G
And walked up to the old man,
C
And them cold black eyes,
G
Stared down at me,
Dm
And my feet kinda stuck in the sand,
Dm
He said: “Hey what’s a kid like you,
G
Hangin’ ‘round an old man like me?”
C G
I said: “Mister, I just love your playin’”,
G C
He said: “Well just pull up and have a seat”.
[Verse 5]
Dm
Well I spend a lot of time at his cabin,
G
Just him and that old dog and me,
C G
And folks it was there that I heard
Dm
The best guitar in the state of Tennessee,
Dm
And you know to my eyes it was just a miracle,
G
Just to see just the way it was done,
C G
The good Lord made him florin blind,
Dm C Dm Em
But it gave him a golden thumb.
[Instrumental]

Dm Dm
[Verse 6]
Dm
I spend many a night in his cabin,
G
And he taught me everything I know,
C G
He said: “Son, we’re gonna take your band,
Dm
Your and my guitar and hit the road”
Dm
So we went down to Dallas and we killed them,
G
Did the same thing in New Orleans,
C G
We raised the roof in old St. Louis,
G C
Oh I can still hear the people scream.
[Bridge]
Dm C
I can feel it in my fingers,
Dm Dm
You can hear him every time I strum,
Dm
But a whole lot of pickers,
C
But they can’t hold the candles,
Dm C Dm Em
For the man with the golden thumb.
[Chorus]
F C
He played funky blues, folky rock,
G Dm
He didn’t know they have a name,
F
He could ring them strings,
C
Make them sing,
G A
He was way ahead of the game,
F
He’d take his thumb,
C
And slap it numb,
G Dm
And say boy, here that’s how it’s done,
C Dm C
And if you take note you might learn to play,
G Dm Dm
Like the man with the golden thumb.
[Outro]
Dm
Let the ol’ man have his son.
