she’s got them (Cm6)bad,

she feels so (Cm7)sad.

(Cmaj7)Wants

the world to (Fmaj7)know

what the blues (C)are all a bout.

(Cm6)La

she tells her (Cm6)side,

noth ing to (Cm7)hide.

(Cmaj7)Now

the world will (Fmaj7)know

just what the (C)blues are all a

The (C9)blues ain’t noth in’ but a pain in your heart.

When you get a bad start, when you and your man have to part,

she (D9)ain’t gon na just sit a round and cry.

She knows she won’t die

be cause she (G9)loves him.

(Cm6)La

dy sings the (Ab7)blues,

she’s tell ing (Cm6)you

she’s got them (Cm7)bad.

(Cmaj7)Now

the world will (Fmaj7)know,

she’s (C)nev er gon na (G7)sing them no (Cm7)more.

(G)no (Cm6)more.
