 AOne April day she pacEked her stuff and went to GAfrica to save the pDoor
 AHe felt so lonesome, started Edrinking gin and bend his Gstrings like SRDV
 AEveryone thought that he was Egood at that, grabbed his Gguitar and drove to DTennessee
[Bridge 1]
FHis dream was coming true
AHis heart was filled with gratitude
FHis dream was coming true
AHe was making a living with his blues
[Chorus 1]
  DIt makes me Efeel so good, living Alife with 12 bar sF#mhuffled blues
