George Jones – Born With The Blues (Guitar)

C                               F
Dad was my hero  God called him away

          C                 G7
Momma was lonely  and I was afraid

               C                        F
With no one to lean on  I turned to the booze

                C      G7                        C
Hard times come early  when you're born with the blues

                                           F
Railroads were leaving  and airplanes were in

                  C                 G7
The great war was brewing  about to begin

           C                    F
Hungry and lonesome  nothing to lose

            C       G7                C
Raised in a boxcar  and born with the blues

                                F
Born with the blues  trouble in mind

            C                           G7
Smoking and drinking  by the time I was nine

                 C                          F
In debt from the start  I'm still paying my dues

          C       G7                C
Crazy and lonely  and born with the blues

                                            F
In spite of the cocaine  and in spite of it all

              C                     G7
God gave me a woman  to cushion the fall

                        C                     F
You're like Paul of the bible  spreading good news

           C        G7                C
A man on a journey  and born with the blues
