Lyrics

Now (G7)I

ain’t got no (A7)bod

(Cm)y, and

(G)no bod y (A7)cares (D7)for me.

I got the blues,

the wea ry blues.

(G7)And

I’m sad and (A7)lone

ly.

Won’t some bod y come and take a chance with (D)me?

I’ll sing sweet

love songs, hon ey,

all the time,

if you’ll

come and be my

sweet ba by (D7)mine.

’Cause (G7)I

ain’t got no (A7)bod

(Cm)y,

and

(G)no bod

y (A7)cares

(D7)for

(G)me.

Now (G7)I

ain’t got no (A7)bod

(Cm)y,

and

(G)no bod

y (A7)cares

(D7)for

(D7)me.

I got the blues,

the wea ry blues.

(G7)And

I’m sad and (A7)lone

ly.

Won’t some bod y come and take a chance with (D)me?

I’ll sing sweet

love songs, hon ey,

all

the time,

if

you’ll come and be my

sweet ba by (D7)mine.

’Cause (G7)I

ain’t got no (A7)bod

(Cm)y, and

(G)no bod

(G)me.

Now (G)me.
