  			G            D7                      G 
Wish I could lose  these blues in my heart 

  
D7          G      G7        C 
Blues in my heart  oh how it aches  

       D7                   G 
Nobody knows  the sorrow it takes 

D7            G      G7             C 
I should have known  right from the start  

               D7                      G 
You'd leave me with  these blues in my heart 

  
D7          G     G7         C 
Gone is the love  I couldn't hold  

            D7                            G 
Just like a lamb  that's strayed from the fold 

D7         G   G7         C 
What can I do  what can I say 
  
            D7                      G 
Blues in my heart  have got me this way 

  
D7             G     G7            C 
Rain's falling down  down from the sky  

             D7                  G 
Why even the sun's  beginning to cry 

D7           G      G7          C 
Everything's wrong  since we're apart 
  
             D7                      G 
Wish I could lose  these blues in my heart
