[Verse]
C7 A7 C7 A7
Blues on the ceiling over my head
D7 F7 A7
Running down the walls across the floor and over my bed
D7 F7 A7
Blue lights across the street blinkin' off and on
D7 F7 A7
It's so lonely now she's gone
[Chorus]
D7 F7 A7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
D7 F7 A7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
[Verse]
C7 A7 C7 A7
Loved had been a dirty five-letter word to me
D7 F7 A7
I was into the blues over my head blue was all that I could see
D7 F7 A7
Up to my neck in misery
[Chorus]
D7 F7 A7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
D7 F7 A7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C7 A7 C7 A7
Blues keep on fooling with my weary head
D7 F7 A7
Cocaine couldn't numb the pain I'd be better off dead
D7 F7 A7
Blue lights gone out at last I sleep
D7 F7 A7
The bitter the blues, the better they keep
[Chorus]
D7 F7 A7
I'll never get out of these blues alive
D7 F7 A7
I'll never get out of these crazy blues alive
