I left my baby chords
Start Jamming...
Anytime a person can play the blues, they have a soul and that gives them a sort of a lift to play anything else they want to play.
The blues is sort of a base, like a foundation to a building.
And one thing, it has to tell a story, like the pop tunes of the day,
particularly the majority of the hits of the pop tunes, to tell a story, something's been happening to them.
And it gets to the people because it has a feeling.
Different times in my life, different things happening, but they used to jump around quite a bit.
Girlfriends and different things like that.
And I had a little girl I was growing with and I left her one time, you know.
And I just built a little blues and get right around that, left my baby standing in the back door crying.
She said, son, you got a home as long as I've got mine.
