[Intro]
| Am          | D           | G           | Em          |
| Am          | D           | G           | G           |
 
[Verse 1]
      Am                  D
I got twenty silk cotton,   no light,
  G                       Em
a river full of fish that   won't bite;
    Am                      D
I'm happily married but somethin' ain't right,
G                           G
that's why they call it the blues.
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Am                 D
Blunt boy fool and washboard Sam,
Bm                 Em
neither of them as blue as I am.
Am              D
Memphis Mid and Memphis Slim,
G                     B7
I'd trade places with her
   Em   Am                G         G*
or him,   with her or him.
 
[Chorus]
    Am             D
The blues came in, slept with my wife,
B7                 Em
cut her to pieces, planted the knife;
Am                 D
  found me guilty, sentenced to hang.
       B7                               B7
If you didn't want the blues, well, you shouldn't have sang,
      Em        D                           G        G*
sang, sang, ooh oh, well you shouldn't have sang.
 
[Interlude 1]
| Am          | D           | Bm          | Em          |
| Am          | D           | G           | G           |
 
[Verse 2]
          Am                       D
I won the   golden ticket but with   no back,
G                      Em
paid me in pennies, my heart just sank,
Am                            D
had to leave the house in the chief-turned-tap.
G                           G
That's why they call it the blues.
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am                     D
Sunny boy Williamsons' one and two
Bm                        Em
kept their takings in the sole o' their shoe.
Am*                 D*
Notes in the front, coins in the heel,
  G                       B7         Em
I ain't got either on the real blues deal,
Am                   G         G*
  I'm the real blues deal.
 
[Chorus]
    Am             D
The blues came in, slept with my wife,
B7                 Em
cut her to pieces, planted the knife;
Am                 D
  found me guilty, sentenced to hang.
       B7                               B7
If you didn't want the blues, well, you shouldn't have sang,
      Em        D                           G        G*
sang, sang, ooh oh, well you shouldn't have sang.
 
[Interlude 2]
| G           | G           | Am          | D           |
| G           | G           | Am          | D           |
 
[Bridge]
        G              E
Pint of Smith, J.B. Lenoir
            Am                   D
shot in the stomach, killed in a car.
                      G                   E
With the blues in the room, it gets kinda dark,
                    Am                    D
hust stick out your hand and pick up your harp.
               G                         E
The blues came in, it will knock at your door
                    Am                     D
in the still of the night, with a circular saw.
           G                     E
A circular saw, a noose for your neck.
       Am                   D
If you see the blues comin'
                   G*          N.C.
You're hittin' the deck.
 
[End-Chorus]
    Am             D
The blues came in, slept with my wife,
B7                 Em
cut her to pieces, planted the knife;
Am                 D
  found me guilty, sentenced to hang.
       B7                               B7
If you didn't want the blues, well, you shouldn't have sang,
      Em        D                           G*        G*
sang, sang, ooh oh, well you shouldn't have sang.
