Verse 1:
Just when every [G]ray of [C]hope was [G]gone;
I should have known,
That [C]you would come a-[G]long.
I can't believe I [D7]ever doubted you;
[C] My old [D7]friend the [G]blues.
Verse 2:
Another lonely [G]night, a [C]nameless [G]town,
If sleep don't take me [C]first;
You'll come a-[G]round.
'Cos I know I can [D7]always count on you;
[C] My old [D7]friend the [G]blues.
Bridge 1:
[G] Lovers leave,
And [C]friends will [G]let you [C]down.
But you're the only,
[G] Sure [D]thing that I've [G]found.
No matter what I [D7]do I'll never lose,
[C] My old [D7]friend the [G]blues.

[C] My old [D7]friend the [G]blues.
Coda:
[G] Just let me hide,
My [D7]weary heart in you;
[C] My old [D7]friend the [G]blues.
