[Intro]
[Am]Lady sing the blues so well as if she m[E]ean it
As if it's h[Dm]ell down here in the smoke filled world where the j[Dm]okes are cold
They don't laugh at jokes, they laugh at tr[E]agedies
[Am]Corner street s[Dm]ocieties, they bel[E]ieve her
They n[Dm]ever leave her while she sings, she makes them f[E]eel things
[Chorus]
(begin strumming)
She says[Am] "I can sing this song so [Dm]blue
That y[Am]ou will cry in s[Dm]pite of y[E]ou
[Am]Little wet tears on your baby's s[Dm]houlder
[Am]Little wet tears on your baby's shou[E]lder
[Verse]
[Am]And I have walked these streets so [Dm]long
There ain't [Am]nothin' right, there ain't n[Dm]othin' wrong[E]
But the l[Am]ittle wet tears on my baby's s[Dm]houlder
[Am]Little wet tears on my baby's sho[E]ulder"
[Verse]
[Am]Lady lights a [E]cigarette, [Dm]puffs away, [E]no regrets
[Dm]Takes a look aro[Am]und, no regr[E]ets no regrets
[Am]Stretches out like branches of a poplar t[E]ree
Says "[Am]I am free", [E]sings so soft as if she'll break
[Chorus]
Says "[Am]I can sing this song so b[Dm]lue
That [Am]you will cry in spite of y[E]ou
[Am]Little wet tears on your baby's sh[Dm]oulder
[Am]Little wet tears on your baby's sho[E]ulder
[Verse]
[Am]And I have wa[E]lked these [Am]streets so l[Dm]ong
There ain't no[Am]thin' right, [Dm]nothin' wrong[E]
But the li[Am]ttle wet tears on my baby[Dm]'s shoulder
[Am]Little wet tears on my baby's sh[E]oulder
[Bridge]
[A]But on this stage I've l[Amaj7]earned to fly
[A7]Learned to sing and le[A#]arned to cry
[Bm]Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
[G]Little wet tears on my b[E]aby's shoulder
[A]But now it's time to [Amaj7]say goodbye
[A7]Some might laugh, but[A#] I will surely cry
[Bm]Little wet tears on my baby's shoulder
[G]Little wet tears on my b[E]aby's shoulder"
[Outro]
[Am]Lady lights a [E]cigarette
[Dm]Puffs away and wi[E]nter comes and she f[Am]orgets
[Am]Lady sing the blues so well as if she m[E]ean it
As if it's h[Dm]ell down here in the smoke filled world where the j[Dm]okes are cold
They don't laugh at jokes, they laugh at tr[E]agedies
