My baby, she left me, my baby, she's gone.

My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown.

Can't think of a reason for going on.

From this day I will play the blues.

She said it was over, this time it's the end.

Now bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend.

I still can't believe it, after all we've been through.

Every day I will play the blues.

Everybody    knows what the blues is all about. 
C                                D Am 
It's a pain you can't live with. 
Am 
It's a woman you can't live without.

She came from Chicago.

She read me the news. 
        Am       C     D       C     Am          E7 
In the headlines   was a story of the blues.

They say a broken heart can always mend. 
Am7/G                    Am/F# 
That time is the healer, and sadness will end. 
Fmaj7                        E7/9+ 
But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again? 
      Am            Dm         Am 
'Til that day I will play the blues.

Everybody    knows what the blues is all about.

It's a pain you can't live with. 
Am 
It's a woman you can't live without. 
F9                  E7/9+ 
Could have cried me a river 
F9                     E7/9+ 
when they told me the news. 
   Am       C    D      C    Am        E7 
On that day was a story of the blues.
