3 4 6 -5
There are sad things
-3 4 -5 5 -5 4
There are bad things, the blues
3 4 6 -5
When they threaten
4 4 -5 5 -6 5
Just start betting, you'll lose
5 6 -5 7 -7 -6 5 5
You hide yourself, behind a prayer
-5 -5 6 -7 -6 6 6 4 4
The blues will come, and they'll find you there
-4 5 -4 -5 6 5 7 7 -7 7
I mean the blues they call, Pete Kelly's Blues
5 6 -5 7 -7 -6 5 5
That happy dream is yours they say
-5 6 -5 -6 5 6
If you can pay, the dues
6 6 7 -6 4
That's why I'm stuck with
6 -5 4 6 -5 6 4
Fresh outta luck with, the blues
