 VERSE 1: 
  A               B7             E          E 
 Just around the corner there's heartache-- 
  A                    B7    E       E 
 Down the street that losers use-- 
     A           B7              E          E 
 If you can wade in through the teardrops, 
         A              B7           E      E 
 You'll find me at the Home of the Blues-- 
   
 VERSE 2: 
 A           B7           E          E 
 I walk and cry while my heartbeat 
        A             B7          E      E 
 Keeps time with the drag of my shoes-- 
      A         B7                  E         E   
 The sun never shines through this window of mine-- 
       A           B7           E      E 
 It's dark at the Home of the Blues-- 
   
 BREAK: 
               A       A                        E          E 
 Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest mem'ries-- 
  B7           B7          E       E 
 Mem'ries so sweet that I cry-- 
   A               A          E            E 
 Dreams that I've had left me  feelin' so bad, 
 F#7            F#7         F#7           B7    B7 
 I just want to give up and lay down and die-- 
   
 VERSE 3: 
  A            B7              E           E 
 So if you've just lost your sweetheart, 
         A                B7           E       E 
 And it seems there's no good way to choose-- 
  A              B7          E          E 
 Come along with me, mis'ry loves company-- 
         A              B7           E       E 
 You're welcome at the Home of the Blues--
