G7 E7 G7 E7

Blues on the ceiling over my head

A7 C7 E7

Running down the walls across the floor and over my bed

A7 C7 E7

Blue lights across the street blinkin' off and on

A7 C7 E7

It's so lonely now she's gone

[Chorus]

A7 C7 E7

I'll never get out of these blues alive

A7 C7 E7

I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive

[Verse]

G7 E7 G7 E7

Loved had been a dirty five-letter word to me

A7 C7 E7

I was into the blues over my head blue was all that I could see

A7 C7 E7

Up to my neck in misery

Blues keep on fooling with my weary head

A7 C7 E7

Cocaine couldn't numb the pain I'd be better off dead

A7 C7 E7

Blue lights gone out at last I sleep

A7 C7 E7

The bitter the blues, the better they keep

[Chorus]

A7 C7 E7

I'll never get out of these blues alive

A7 C7 E7

I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
