(verse 1) 
G     C         G               C         G 
Blue trail of sorrow lies upon the ground, 
D                                     G 
And I get so lonely since you let me down, 
                C      G                C           G 
Well, I used to be so happy walking on these streets, 
D                                     G 
Now there's just sadness everywhere I meet, 
 
C             G     C                D 
Start walkin baby, walk all over town, 
C               D                  G 
Sweet tears of sadness fallin' down, 
C             G    C                D 
Keep lookin' baby, I won't be around, 
C               D                 G 
Blue trail of sorrow on the ground, 
 
 
(verse 2) 
Now, when I had a dollar you'd stick right by me, 
Now, I've got nothin but blues for company, 
Well, I think I'll leave tomorrow, I'm tired of this town, 
But, it won't be hard to find me if you look down on the ground, 
 
 
(chorus) 
C             G     C                D 
Start walkin baby, walk all over town, 
C               D                  G 
Sweet tears of sadness fallin' down, 
C             G    C                D 
Keep lookin' baby, I won't be around, 
C               D                 G 
Blue trail of sorrow on the ground, 
 
 
(chorus) 
C             G     C                D 
Start walkin baby, walk all over town, 
C               D                  G 
Sweet tears of sadness fallin' down, 
C             G    C                D 
Keep lookin' baby, I won't be around, 
C               D                 G 
Blue trail of sorrow on the ground,
