A Working on the road across this great big world E7 I've been rolling like a stone, I never get back home D7 Yes, I've been long-gone E7 A And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues
[Verse 2]
A Been across the ocean to the South Sea isles E7 Yeah, I travelled to the east and west for mile and miles and miles D7 And I've been long-gone E7 F And boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues
[Chorus]
E Across the world I've seen E People and places E Could be the same F But with a different name

A I wouldn't change the things I do for anything E7 But I'd just like to hear the message of the streets again D7 Give me a ticket E7 F Cause boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

A It may be kind of homely but it sure is sweet E7 Industrial Revolution put it on its feet D7 But it's a long, long way E7 F Boy, I've got the Birmingham Blues

A I'll go and stay awhile and all the folks I meet E7 They'll say "You won't stay long, you got them travelling feet D7 You'll soon be long-gone E7 F 'Cos boy, you got the rest of the world blues!"
