[Verse]
D7 B7 D7 B7
Blues on the ceiling over my head
E7 G7 B7
Running down the walls across the floor and over my bed
E7 G7 B7
Blue lights across the street blinkin' off and on
E7 G7 B7
It's so lonely now she's gone
[Chorus]
E7 G7 B7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
E7 G7 B7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
[Verse]
D7 B7 D7 B7
Loved had been a dirty five-letter word to me
E7 G7 B7
I was into the blues over my head blue was all that I could see
E7 G7 B7
Up to my neck in misery
[Chorus]
E7 G7 B7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
E7 G7 B7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D7 B7 D7 B7
Blues keep on fooling with my weary head
E7 G7 B7
Cocaine couldn't numb the pain I'd be better off dead
E7 G7 B7
Blue lights gone out at last I sleep
E7 G7 B7
The bitter the blues, the better they keep
[Chorus]
E7 G7 B7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
E7 G7 B7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
