[Intro]
/ C7 / C7 / F7 / F7 / C7 / G7 / C7 F7 / C7 G7 /

[Verse 1]
     C7                                F7
Only kind of song that I can sing is a blues song
          C7
When everything is wrong, ain't no happy song
       G7
Just a blues song

[Verse 2]
        C7
I mess around again, got the hook sunk in
        F7
I don’t wanna die a-drownin so I guess I better swim
             C7                     G7
You're gonna wish some day, I'll be back your way
        C7          F7  / C7 G7 /
I'll be long gone

[Verse 3]
       C7
When I give myself I give all of me
        F7
And you may not believe me, baby, but you wait and see
           C7                                        G7
You're gonna wonder where I am someday but you won't know

[Verse 4]
    C7 N.C.                         C7 N.C.  
I got ants in my britches and turnin' pretty women down
  F7
I know I may be funny, don't you take me for a clown
             C7                     G7
You're gonna wish some day, I'll be back your way
        C7          F7  / C7 G7 /
I'll be long gone

[Solo]
/ C7 / C7 / F7 / F7 / C7 / C7 / G7 / G7 /

/ C7 / C7 / F7 / F7 / C7 / G7 / C7 F7 / C7 G7 /

[Verse 5]
         C7
Love you have for me hides where I won't see it
      F7
But I see it
         C7
I know I could be wrong, I keep hangin’ on
         G7
'Cause I feel it
​
[Verse 6]
                  C7 N.C.                         C7 N.C.  
Why don’t you quit closin' up your door and let me stay with you
  F7
I know I may be crazy but my love is true
             C7                     G7
You're gonna wish some day, I’ll be back your way
        C7
I'll be long gone
