[Verse]
E7 C#7 E7 C#7
Blues on the ceiling over my head
F#7 A7 C#7
Running down the walls across the floor and over my bed
F#7 A7 C#7
Blue lights across the street blinkin' off and on
F#7 A7 C#7
It's so lonely now she's gone
[Chorus]
F#7 A7 C#7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
F#7 A7 C#7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
[Verse]
E7 C#7 E7 C#7
Loved had been a dirty five-letter word to me
F#7 A7 C#7
I was into the blues over my head blue was all that I could see
F#7 A7 C#7
Up to my neck in misery
[Chorus]
F#7 A7 C#7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
F#7 A7 C#7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive

[Verse]
E7 C#7 E7 C#7
Blues keep on fooling with my weary head
F#7 A7 C#7
Cocaine couldn't numb the pain I'd be better off dead
F#7 A7 C#7
Blue lights gone out at last I sleep
F#7 A7 C#7
The bitter the blues, the better they keep
[Chorus]
F#7 A7 C#7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
F#7 A7 C#7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
