[D] [C]
[G]
[D] Your [C] old man got mad [D] when I told him [G] we were leaving
He [D]
[C] cursed and he raged and he swore [G] at the ceiling
He [F] called you his child, said, honey, get [C] wise to [Em] his game
He'll
[F] get you in trouble, I know it, those bums are [Em] all the same
[A] [D] There's a greyhound [C] outside in the lane that's waiting [G] for us
So [D] tell [C] [D] him [C]
goodbye, we gotta [D] go west on that [C] bus
And [G] it's all over now, [A] don't you [Bm] worry no more
We're [C] gonna go west to the [G] [C] [G] sea
[C] [G] The greyhound is swaying, out [Bm] the red, the old train
[C] Some blues for baby [D] and me
I [Bm]
ain't [Em] getting there but then, [Am] lord it looks so sweet and so [C] green
[G] And I can't forget that [Bm] trip to the west
[C] Singing blues [D] for baby and [C] [D] me
[C] [D] [G]
[D] [C] [D] [C] [D]
[C] [G]
[C] So your [D] hat's [C] trimmed, your [G] eyes open in surprise
[D] It's nine [C] in [D] the [C] shade, babe, and there ain't a cloud [G] in the sky
I [F] called you my child, said, honey, now this [Em] is our game
There's
[F] two of us to play at and I'm happy to be [Em] home again
There's [D] a
[C] [G] greyhound [C] outside in [D] the [C] lane that's waiting [B] for [G] us
[D] So [C] tell [D] him [C]
goodbye, [Bm] [Am] we gotta [D]
go west on [C] that [D] [C]
bus
[G] And it's all over now, don't [Bm] you worry no more
[C] We're gonna go west to the [G] sea
The greyhound is swaying, out [Bm] the red, the old train
[C] Some blues for baby [D] and me
I [Bm] ain't [Em] getting there but then, [Am] lord it looks so sweet and [C] so green
And [G] I can't forget that [Bm] trip to the west
Singing [C] blues [D] for baby and [C] [D] me
[C] Don't [D]
[G]
[Bm] you worry no more
[C] We're gonna go west to the [G] sea
[C] The [G] greyhound is swaying, out [Bm] the red, the old train
[C] Some blues for baby [D] and me
I [Bm] ain't getting
[Em] there but then, [D] lord it looks [Am] so sweet and [C] so green
