Cm
A hundred miles is not too far
Gm
Unless you have to walk
Gm
Life, it seems, is like a dream
Cm
Until you have to talk
Cm
Don't wonder for a moment
Fm
If you win or lose
Cm
Just stop and stay, and watch the day
Gm Cm
And listen to these blues
Cm
If it don't work for you, girl
Fm Ab
Put it off your mind
Cm Ab
If you drink anew from the well
Bb Cm
You find the bottom line
Cm
A fancy woman told me
Fm Ab
John, you're bound to do this
Cm Ab
So I just stay and watch the day
Gm Cm
And sing these lonesome blues
Cm
The blues is not a song you sing
Gm
It is a way of life
Gm
I've hung around them bar rooms, girl
Cm
Almost all my life
Cm
The men, they all are gamblers
Fm
They take all they can use
Cm
So if I find no peace of mind
Gm Cm
I'll settle for these blues
