[E] So [A] you want to sing the blues?
Well, maybe you just want to sing the blues [D] more better.
Well, I think I have [A] some tips that I can share with you to make you have a better time.
I can give you some bait [B] that you can just [E] reel in your audience with.
[A] I'm going to explain it to you.
We're going to have fun.
We're going to [D] have a ball.
And with my [A] line and my pole, [Am] I'm [A] going fishing.
Oh, yes, I'm going fishing, and my [E] baby's going fishing, [A] too.
[N] Now, how do you do that?
You want to know how you do it?
Well, you can simply start with the word growl.
And something back here has got to vibrate.
So you say, growl, growl.
You can feel your throat.
Growl.
Now, slow it down.
Growl, growl.
Put it back there even further.
Growl.
Do it on a different sound.
Great, great.
So you can go through all the vowels.
A, E, I, O, U.
What I want you to notice is that you can sing from down here in your stomach
and make it big and round and strong.
Or you can sing it in your throat.
What's a poor girl?
What's a poor girl?
Or you can take it up here in your head.
What's a poor girl?
Girl, girl, girl.
Well, another way of using that breathiness is to put a little more air out with it
and make yourself sound hoarse.
You know, like when you call in for sick leave and you're not really sick.
You know, hello, I can't make it in this morning.
All right, so you're doing that same breathy thing.
You're blowing that air through, but you're putting a little more sound through.
And you can really make that image work for you.
[Em] Well, [C] I'm out [G] of here.
I hope it was as good for you [C] as it was [G] for me.
I got [E] mine.
I hope you got yours.
I [D] hope you'll try this stuff.
Make it work.
[Em] Make [F#] it [D] yours.
Sing in your [G] own [D] voice.
[Em] Don't change a thing.
Let's get [C] some more [C#m] kinds of bait so that you [Gm] can reel [C] in more [G] fishes.
