(Intro)
[C] [C5] [D5] [Am]
(Verse 1)
[Am]My baby, she left me[Am/G#], my baby, she's gone.
[Am7/G]My sweet little angel [Am/F#]has spread her wings and flown.
[Fmaj7]Can't think of a reason[E7] for going on.
From t[Am]his day I w[Dm]ill play the b[Am]lues.[F9][E7#9]
[Am]She said it was over,[Am/G#] this time it's the end.
[Am7/G]Now bad luck and trouble [Am/F#]gonna be my only friend.
[Am]I still can't believe it, [E7#9]after all we've been through.
Every d[Am]ay I will [Dm]play the bl[Am]ues.
(Chorus)
[C]Everybody[D] [Am] knows what the blues is all about.
[C]It's a pain you can't live with.[D][Am]
[Am]It's a woman you can't live without.
[F9]She came from Chi[E7#9]cago.
[F9]She read me the n[E7#9]ews.
In the h[Am]eadlines [C] was [D]a story [C]of the[Am] blues.[E7]
(Verse 2)
[Am]They say a broken heart [Amadd9/G#]can always mend.
[Am7/G]That time is the healer, [Am/F#]and sadness will end.
[Fmaj7]But I've done so much crying,[E7#9] when will I laugh again?
'Til t[Am]hat day I will[Dm] play the b[Am]lues.
(Chorus)
[C]Everybody[D] [Am] knows what the blues is all about.
[C]It's a pain you can't live with.[D][Am]
[Am]It's a woman you can't live without.
[F9]Could have cried me [E7#9]a river
[F9]when they told me the n[E7#9]ews.
On [Am]that day [C]was a[D] story [C]of th[Am]e blues. [E7]
