Bb7
Every night I go to sleep

Eb9                   Bb7
The blues fall down like rain

Every night I go to sleep

                       Bb7
The blues fall down like rain

F9                        E9 Eb9
Taking pills, cheap whiskey

Bb7                          Eb9   Bb7    F9
Just to try to ease the pain

[Verse]

Bb7
Well it's hard to gamble

Eb9
When you lose every bet

Bb7
Hard to save money

When you're twenty years in debt

Eb9
The blues is falling

                            Bb7
Falling down on me like rain

F9                                E9 Eb9
I'm gonna take a shotgun now people

                   Bb7       Eb9   Bb7    F9
And disconnect my brain

I made some mistakes

The blues is falling

My life is like water

                       Bb7       Eb9   Bb7    F9
Just swirling down the drain

[Verse]

Well I tried standin' up

Eb9
I keep on falling down

Tried standing up

Keep on fallin' down

F9               E9 Eb9 N.C.
Everywhere I go

Bb7
The blues is all around
