[C]
Dad was my hero, God [F] called him away.
Mama [C] was lonely, and I was [G] afraid, with no [C] one to lean on.
I turned [F] to the blues, hard [C] times come when [G] you're born [Cm] with the blues.
[C]
Railroads were leaving, and airplanes [F] were in, and a great [C] war was brewing,
About to [G] begin, hungry [C] and lonesome, nothing [F] to lose.
Raised in [C] a boxcar, [G] and born [C] with the blues.
Born with the blues, trouble [F] in mind, smoking [C] and drinking.
By the time I [G] was nine, and bent [C] from the start, still paying [F] my dues.
Crazy [C] and lonely, [G] and born [C] with the blues.

[A#] [C] In spite of the cocaine, in spite [F] of it all, God gave [C] me a warm, to cushion [G] the fall.
He liked all of [C] the Bible, spreading [F] good
[A] [F] news.
A man [C] on a journey, [G]
born [C] with the blues.
Born with the blues, trouble [F] in mind, smoking [C] and drinking.
By the time I [G] was nine, and bent [C] from the start, still paying [F] my dues.
Crazy [C] and lonely, [G] and born [C] with the blues.
[F] Crazy [C] and lonely, [G] and born [C] with the blues.
