D    D7               G     E7     
Everybody's sings the blues sometimes  
    G    A              D      A  
And everybody knows the tune 
    D    D7             G       E7 
And everybody knows the way I'm feelin'  
      G    A              D 
Cause everybody's had the blues 
  
  A       G        A      G  
A lonely, song someone is gone 
  D    G       D        
A story old as time 
A     G        ?        G  
Love, hate, or want and wait  
     D                 A 
Till misery fills your mind 
    D    D7             G       E7   
But everybody knows the way I'm feelin'  
      G    A              D 
Cause everybody's had the blues
