He's gonna tell you 'bout his dear old mother 
C                           
Burned up in a factory in Springfield, Mass. 
                              G    F 
He's gonna tell you 'bout his baby brother 
C									    Am D   G	 
Hustlin' down the city streets and selling his ass for a dollar bag 

He's gonna tell you 'bout his uncle Neddy 
Locked up in a prison out in Oregon 
He's gonna tell you 'bout his best friend Eddie 
Killed in a bar fight with a pair of marines and a sailor, Oh 
C Am He's got the blues, this boy F He's got the blues G You can hear it in his music C Am He's got the blues, this boy F He's got the blues G You can hear it, you can hear it
Am G# G F# When I was nine years old my daddy ran away G C With a woman he met on a train, oh Am G# G F# His little boy ran to the room where his piano lay in wait for him G C He played and he played, he played and he played Chorus A year ago, I met a girl I thought we'd hit a massive groove But she dumped me and all we'd hit were the blues Chorus by: José Duarte [email protected]
