[Verse 1]
Cm A hundred miles is not too far Gm Unless you have to walk Gm Life, it seems, is like a dream Cm Until you have to talk Cm Don't wonder for a moment Fm If you win or lose Cm Just stop and stay, and watch the day Gm Cm And listen to these blues

[Bridge]
Cm If it don't work for you, girl Fm Ab Put it off your mind Cm Ab If you drink anew from the well Bb Cm You find the bottom line Cm A fancy woman told me Fm Ab John, you're bound to do this Cm Ab So I just stay and watch the day Gm Cm And sing these lonesome blues

[Verse 2]
Cm The blues is not a song you sing Gm It is a way of life Gm I've hung around them bar rooms, girl Cm Almost all my life Cm The men, they all are gamblers Fm They take all they can use Cm So if I find no peace of mind Gm Cm I'll settle for these blues
