_ Your show is great.
I love your show.
Especially the DJ.
[D] _ I love seeing your show.
I didn't see it that much.
When I [Eb] came to that show, nobody even saw me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ She got all the men in the audience all upset. _ _
_ _ _ It was funny. _ _
_ _ _ [N] _ Ready for another? _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ This is a song called, you know, about the prosperity blues.
You know, people say the blues is dying, but the blues is not dying.
The blues is just different. _
_ You know?
_ _ So I wrote this [Db] song because I thought like a man.
I thought, well, I _ _ [Em] got a paycheck.
I said, well, I don't have the blues now. _ _ _ _ _
_ What am I going to write [B] about?
So let's just write about what's going [B] on.
_ _ _ Okay, that's good.
Then I got married.
[Ab] I just like [E] the blues.

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I used to [F] only know _ _
[Em] tears in my [E] _ eyes. _
Could _ [A] _ _ _ never see _ _ _ sun in the sky.
[A] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ _
I lived [Cm] so long [F] _ with a [G] thorn in my [E] side. _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ And I got so used to being _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
unsatisfied.
[B] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Now I have to _ [Em] _
sit around the house. _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ My bills are paid _
[G] and my checks don't bounce.
[Db] _ _
[G] _ I can't [C] even [E] cry now.
_ _ [A] _ _ _
Since the [D] blues [G] slipped out of town.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ [Cm] _ _
[Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ My little [E] friend got down to the bar.
_ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ And my baby was _
[G] _ _ by the time I got [E] home.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Couldn't go [F] nowhere _ because my [E] engine was blown.
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
And the operator _ used to always _ turn on my [Bm] _
phone.
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ Now I'm happy that the blues, _ they don't ever come around.
_ _ _ [C] _
My car is running _ _ _ [Db] and it don't break down. _ _ _
_ [G] I can't even crack [E] a sound.
[Em] _ _ _ [A] _ Oh, since the [D] blues _ _ [G] slipped out of town.

[D] _ We need some saxophone.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ My baby left me, _ _ _ but she came right back.
_ _ _ [C] _ _
But I gave her a key, _ _ [G] and a brand [Dbm] new cab.
[Eb] _ _ [Db] _ _
I [G] ain't never been so [E] down.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
Since the [D] blues slipped [Bm] out of [G] town. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, [Am] I ain't never [G] _ been [C] so [Db] down.
_ _ [G] _ _
Since the blues slipped out of town.
