Well I'm just a post of which you lean 

           C               G7 
Never your love  just a go between 

C                               F 
Change of a heart that can't be free 

               C    G7            C 
The image of a man  I thought I'd be 


                      F 
Alone so low with misery  

            C             G7 
Nothing but blues for company 

C                                           F 
Well if things get worse I can't shake this curse 

           C            G7        C 
Then start dragging the river for me 


                                   F 
Well the flame of love once won my soul 

           C                G7 
Now it's a spot so dark and cold 

C                                   F 
Tears that I've cried won't flow no more 

                    C     G7          C 
Cause my heart just died  at heaven's door 


                      F 
Alone so low with misery 
  
            C             G7 
Nothing but blues for company 

C                                           F 
Well if things get worse I can't shake this curse 

           C            G7        C 
Then start dragging the river for me 


                        G7        C 
Then start dragging the river for me
