Chords by: Chase Chafin www.oldtimeblues.tumblr.com Charlie Poole - Can I Sleep In Your Barn Tonight Mister? A wonderful song, recorded in 1925. Charlie actually played it on banjo, but it sounds great on guitar also. Pretty simple, follows the same pattern throughout the whole song. A May I sleep in your barn tonight mister? E It's cold lying out on the ground, A D And the cold north wind is whistling, E A And I have no place to lie down.
