Am                   Am
[tab]Am                               Am
Hey, i've got something to tell ya'll

Am                                 Dm7
Say, i wanna tell you about these three things.

Am              Am
First you have life.

Am                               Am
You open your eyes and you have life

Am                                        Am
Next, you look around and then you´re in love

Am
I mean love.

Am                              Dm
And then see that nothing lasts forever

Am       Dm                      Am
The big b comes around and zaps you,

Am                    Am
That is the mighty blues.
[Verse 1]
Am                     Dm
I lived my life with passion

Am               Am
I love the way i feel

Am   D                      D
But if I did it any other way,

D              Am
It wouldn't be me.

Am                    D
Some say the road is easy

Am              D
Others find it hard

F                               F
But I am here to tell you the news

E7                                Am
Wouldn't mean nothing without the blues

Am     Bm     E7             Am
I said life, love and the blues

Bm    E7            Am
Life, love and the blues.
Am D7 Am [Verse 2]
Am                                  Am
I've been loved, been loved, left alone

Am           D                  D
I've been had 'cause i've been bad

D                        Am
Broke some hearts in my own.

Am                      D
I know the blues got me through

D    Am                                   F
I´m here to tell you, when you got the blues

E7                        Am
Oh, you're never, never alone.

Am       Bm    E7           Am
I said, life, love and the blues.

Am                 Bm       E7                 Am
Ain't nothing like life, sweet love and the blues
[Spoken Interlude]
Am              Am
First you have life

Am                             Am
You open your eyes and you're alive

Am        D                  Am                     Am
And then, next, you look around and then you´re in love

Am
I mean love.

Am                     D               Am
And then here comes, here comes the big b

Am
The blues.
[Verse 3]
Am               Am
Yeah – Ye-hey - Yeah

Am                               D             Am
Ain't nothing like, nothing like love and the blues.

Am       Am
Hey-eh- Hey

Am    Bm   E7                 Am
Said life, sweet love and the blues

Am             Bm                E7                      Am
(Yea- hey)- ain't nothing like, ain't nothing like the blues.
[Outro]
Am            Bm            E7            Am
We've been in love, been in love- left alone

Am             Bm
Ain't nothing like, Aint nuthin' like it

Bm          E7              Am
Life, sweet love, and the blues

Am                Bm
When you got the blues

E7                                Am
Ain't nothing like ain't nothing like the blues

Am         Bm        E7             Am
Wouldn't mean nothing without the blues

Am      Bm          E7            Am
I said life, sweet love and the blues

Am                         Bm     E7            Am
I'm here to tell you about life, love and the blues.
