Tuning: eBGDAE
INTRO:
C7 B7 C7 B7 C7 B7 Em B7
VERSE:
Em C9 B7
People ask me when I sing the blues
Em C7 B7
How did I learn what method did I use
Am Em
Though I will tell you how my friend
F#7b9 B7
It’s not a way I’d recommend
Em C9 B7
You find a good love and treat her wrong
Em Em7 C7 B7
Then be sorry ‘bout it when she’s gone
Am Em
You’ll say ‘come back’ she’ll refuse
F#7b9 B7 Em B7+5
That’s how I learned to sing the blues
Em Em7 C7 B7
Now the people pay to hear my song
Em Em7 C7 B7
The mournful melody of love gone wrong
Am Em
And while the blues has brought me wealth
F#7b9 B7
I find I can’t sing nothin’ else
Em C9 B7
I lost a love I can’t replace
Em C7 B7
With every line I sing I see her face
Am Em
And though it’s not the way I’d choose
F#7b9 B7 Em
That’s how I learned to sing the blues
BRIDGE:
Am Am7
And at night
Am7 Am6 Am Am7
When other lovers hold their true loves tight
Am7 Em
I hold another but it’s just not right
C7 B7
It’s only memories I crave
Am Am7
And in the dawn
Am7 Am6 Am Am7
Just for a moment I forget you’re gone
Am7 Am6 Em
And reach to hold you in the cold grey light
Em
But only find the feeling
Dbm7b5 B7
That I’ll use to sing these blues
INSTRUMENTAL
Em C7 B7

Am Em

VERSE:
Em C9 B7
My advice while you have a choice
Em C9 B7
Is do some exercises for your voice
Am Em
When you sing cry every word
F#7b9 B7
Flat the seventh and the third
Em Em7 C7 B7
And you can sound as if you’re sad
Em C9 B7
Don’t be a fool and treat your good love bad
Am Em
You will gain less than you lose
F#7b9 B7
That’s how I learned to sing
F#7b9 B7
That’s how I learned to sing
F#7b9 B7 Em Em6
That’s how I learned to sing the blues
