Frank Sinatra – Birth Of The Blues (Guitar)

A7     Ab7  G7 C                   Dm7
They heard the breeze in the trees,

G7       C        E7    F         D7
singing weird melodies 

                G7
And they made that, the start of the

 C          Ab7    G7
blues

 G7 Gb7  F7  C                  Dm7 G7
And from a    jail came the wail  of a

C      E7        F
downhearted frail 

D7           G7
And they played that as part of the

C            Fm       C
blues 

C      E7
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill they took a new note

                                A7                          Am7
Pushed it through a horn till it was born into a

D7               G7
blue note 

G7   Gb7 F7    C         Am     Dm   G7     C
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it and gave

    E7  F          E7
out the news

              G7
That the Southland, gave birth to the

C            F         C
blues

C      E7
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill they took a new note

                                A7                  Am7
Pushed it through a horn till it was born into a

D7               G7
blue note 

        Gb7   F7  C          Am     Dm     G7   C
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it and gave

    E7  F
out the news 

              G7
That the Southland, gave birth to the
