C - F - C - G

Dm C Dm C

1. Here in my pocket I‘ve got the story of the blues,

Em Am Dm G

try to believe me ‘cause it could be front page news.

Dm C Dm C

I say I‘ll live with it, like it hasn‘t happened yet,

Em Am

I keep thinking of everyone,

- Dm G

how I‘m the one, the one they‘re trying to get,

G C

to tell the story of the blues.

C F - G C

First they‘ll take your pride, turn it on inside,

Em F Dm G

and then you realize you got nothing left to lose.

C F - G C

So you try to stop, try to get back up,

Em F Dm G

and then you realize you‘re telling the story of the blues.

Dm C - Dm C

2. Minute by minute, day after day,

Em Am Dm G

I think it‘s over but I just can‘t get away.

Dm C - Dm C

You said forget it, well, don‘t jump the gun,

Em Am Dm G

you‘re laughing this time, next time you might be the one

G C

to tell the story of the blues. + CHORUS (2x)

G G7 C

+ What they gonna say about me when they tell the story of the blues ?

+ C - F - C - F (3x) ….
