Shingle by Shingle
(Eric Bibb)

(Capo 2nd fret)
This song is all finger picking and harmonies. The chords I have written are the very basic melody to the song. You will definitely need to listen to the CD to get the finer harmonies and arpeggios that Eric plays.

Intro
C, C/G, F9

Verse 1
C                                   B                             Am          C
Folks stumble and fall, ain't nothing new at all

Weather your poor or rich, at the bottom of a ditch

Shingle by shingle, I'm patching up the roof
C            F                             G (F shape on 5th Fret)
Row by row, bringing in the crop

Love makes a change, I'm living the proof

New water's in the well and I'm grateful, for every drop

Verse 2

I've had my share of debts, some regrets

I'm leaving all that behind and moving on

I thank God the day I can truly say

My souls dark night has turned to dawn
