Some folks always seem to find the good things

Other folks get mixed up with the bad

The blues is all I ever had

To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces
 E                           Bm7(b5)                         E7 
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad

When I first met him, I thought that maybe
 Am7                                                        G 
He could change this lonely life I led
 C                                     Cm         Cm7(b5)             C         Am 
When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby"
           A7M             F#m                 B7           E7 
Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said
     E                                 D9                           E                 D9 
Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now
 E                           Bm7(b5)                         E7 
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad
 A                                                                    E             C#m7 
Since he's gone, what is there left to try now
         A7M           F#m     B7  C     E7 
The blues is all I ever had
