verse: D I just got your letter baby Too bad you can't come home G I swear I'm goin' crazy Sittin' here all alone A Since your gone G D I got a mess of blues
G Whoops there goes a teardrop D Rollin' down my face G If you cry when you're in love A It sure ain't no disgrace
verse: I ain't slept a week since Sunday I can't eat a thing all day Every day is just blue Monday Since you've been away Since your gone I got a mess of blues chorus: Whoops there goes a teardrop Rollin' down my face If you cry when you're in love It sure ain't no disgrace verse: I gotta get myself together Before I lose my mind I'm gonna catch the next train goin' And leave my blues behind Since your gone I got a mess of blues

verse: 
I gotta get myself together 
Before I lose my mind 
I'm gonna catch the next train goin' 
And leave my blues behind 
Since your gone 
I got a mess of blues 
Since your gone 
I got a mess of blues 
Since your gone 
I got a mess of blues

Pictures of Matchstick Men 
 
    This is one of the coolest songs ever written. If anybody else knows how 
to play any of ther rest of it, please tab it and upload it to OLGA. I 
especially want to know how to play the wah part during the verses. All this tab 
is is the intro. I was screwing around, trying to to come up with what they 
play during the verse, and I know there's a D chord and I think a G chord in 
there, if that helps anybody. They play this in other parts of the song, too 
though. Where it says 'Wah', use the wah pedal to get a more trebly sound.
