[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F]
[Bb] [F] All my life I had to struggle, I paid some heavy [Bb] dues
[F] Squeaking out a living, playing these here [Eb] blues
[F] Then one day my music made me a millionaire
I bought a big old mansion with [Ab] central heat now
[Bb] Now I got more money than I know how to use
[F] Got everything a man could want, but I ain't got no blues
[C] Success for me can only lead to my impending doom
[Gm] [F] Cause I can't play the blues in an air conditioned [Bb] [F] room
[Eb] Ooh, [F] [G]
[Eb] yeah
[F] Now [Bb] [F] I was doing better with the smaller people's [D] pockets
[Eb] But all my fame and [F] fortune I can't [Bb] identify
[F] I lost the inspiration that came naturally at the start
I had to hire a mean old woman [Cm] just to [Bb] break my heart
Now my life's [Ab] too easy, I think I'm getting [Bb] soft
[F] I used to play the blues all day, but now I just play [Cm] God
Now all my fame is rearranged, my life is changing [Eb] soon
[Fm] Because I can't play the blues in an air conditioned room
[G] You know what I'm saying?
[Bb] It's kinda hard to [C] play the blues
[Bb] When you got no [Fm] problem Yeah
[Bb] [Ab] I'm [Bb] gonna play the blues for a minute
[Ab] You know what I'm talking about
[Bb] [F] You might think I'm crazy, you might think I'm [Dm] strange
But [F] first thing in the morning, I'm gonna [Dm] make a change
[Fm] I'll throw [F] away my money, I'll move back to that [Bb] shack
[F] [Bb] Do whatever I gotta do to get that feeling back
I know I'll be feeling better with nothing left to lose
[F] When times were bad, the less I had, the better I played the blues
[C] I'm by [Gm] myself in Tokyo, [Eb] whining how the weather moved
[F] Because I can't play the blues [A] in an air conditioned [Bb] [B] room
[C] If I should die tomorrow, you can write it on my [Gm] tomb
[Fm] You couldn't play the blues in an air conditioned room Oh!
[Eb] Oh!
[Fm]
[Eb] [Fm] See what I'm saying?
[Eb] I say man, [F] you gotta change for a thousand dollar bill
[Eb] You know [Fm] what I'm saying?
I wanna go get me a bottle of [F] wine
Some of that Chateau [Bb] Brion
[F] You mean that ain't no wine?
[Fm]
Oh, [F] oh, oh, oh, oh, okay
Don't carry on Hey [Bb] man
[Fm] You know I get a shoe shine over here
[Bb]
[Fm] All [F] I got is a hundred, yeah, [Fm]
yeah
[F] Mmmmm
[Bb] [Fm]
