[Gm]
When the griot sings his perfect song [Cm] I found the place where I belong
[Gm] What the [G] griot sing I
[Gm] recognize [Cm] That soulful tune that made me cry
[Dm] In a story [Cm] born inside his song [Dm] I finally found, [Cm] I finally found
Where the blues [Gm] come from, where [Cm] [Gm] the blues come from
[Cm] [Gm]
His music came from a distant land [Cm]
And it moved and changed through the desert sand
[Gm]
Upon the shores of hell his music [Cm] froze And came to be what we now know
Where the [Gm] blues come from, [Cm] where [Gm] the blues come from
[Cm] [Gm]
A wise old man told me this [Cm]
When the pain you feel and the music is
You [Gm]
melt it down into a devil's brew [Cm]
Sadness came and she turned it blue
[Dm]
When you're lonely [Cm] you will know this song [Dm]
When it hurts so [Cm] deep and stays so long
[Dm]
Though it's [Cm] dark you know that you belong [Dm] Then you will [Cm] know, you will know
[Gm] Where [Ab] the [Gm] blues come from, [Cm] where the blues come [Gm] from
[Cm]
[Gm] Where [D] the [Eb] [Cm] blues [Gm] come [Bbm] [Gm] from, [F] [Cm]
