Story of the Blues

(Intro) CCDAm (Verse 1) Am Am/G# My baby, she left me, my baby, she's gone. Am7/G Am/F# My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown. Fmaj7 E7 Can't think of a reason for going on. Am Dm Am E7#9 From this day I will play the blues. Am Am/G# She said it was over, this time it's the end. Am7/G Am/F# Now bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend. Am E7#9 I still can't believe it, after all we've been through. Am Dm Am Every day I will play the blues. (Chorus) C DAm Everybody knows what the blues is all about. C Am It's a pain you can't live with. Am It's a woman you can't live without. F9 E7#9 She came from Chicago. F9 E7#9 She read me the news. Am C D C Am E7 In the headlines was a story of the blues. (Verse 2) Am Amadd9/G# 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. (Chorus) C DAm Everybody knows what the blues is all about. C Am 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.
