The Blues Come Around (Died 1953 at age 29)
by Hank Williams
[(1951)]
[(C)]Once I was happy as I could be,
But [(F)]I let a gal make a fo[(G7)]ol of me, [(C)]
And ever since she let me down,
The blues come around when the s[(G7)]un goes dow[(C)]n.
Chorus:
Oh, the b[(C7)]lues come a-ro[(F)]und,
Oh the blues come a-[(C)]round,
Lawd, the b[(G7)]lues come around,
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes d[(C)]own.
As long as the sun is in the sky,
These d[(F)]oggone blues never make me cr[(C)]y,
But ever since she left this town,
The blues come around when the [(G7)]sun goes do[(C)]wn.
Repeat chorus:
I built my castles very high,
And t[(F)]hen she went and said goodby[(C)]e,
And ever since she tore 'em down,
The blues come around when the s[(G7)]un goes dow[(C)]n.
Repeat chorus:
Once she called me all her own,
But [(F)]now she's gone and I'm alo[(C)]ne,
And ever evenin' I'm sorrow bound,
'Cause the blues come around when the s[(D7)]un goes dow[(C)]n.
