My baby, she left me, my baby, she's gone.

My sweet little angel has spread her wings and flown.

Can't think of a reason for going on.

From this day I will play the blues.

Now bad luck and trouble gonna be my only friend. 
Am                        E7/9+ 
I still can't believe it, after all we've been through.

Every day I will play the blues.

Everybody    knows what the blues is all about.

It's a pain you can't live with. 
Am 
It's a woman you can't live without.

She came from Chicago.

She read me the news.

They say a broken heart can always mend.

That time is the healer, and sadness will end.

But I've done so much crying, when will I laugh again?

when they told me the news.
