Q!
[G] [D]
When you get the blues, come on!
[G]
When [D] you get the blues, get a rock-robin down in your bones.
Tap on your toes and get going.
[G] Get ready!
[A] When you [D] get the blues, put on your shoeshine boy, he never gets no down.
He's got the dirtiest dog in town.
Bendin' low, he's got the people skiddin' on the windy corner of the great street.
When I ask him why he's trying my shoe, how he keeps from gettin' me blue.
Green grassy range is a little ahead, so I'm a shoe shine right.
He said, get a rhythm.
When you get the blues, come [G] on, get a rhythm.
When [D] you get the blues, well the trumpets in rhythm can make you feel so fine.
Check on the trumpet on the rubbery [G] mic.
Get a rhythm.
[A] When you [D] get the blues, all

[Am] [G] [D] [Am] [Bm]
[C] I [Dm] sat down and listened to the shoe shine boy.
[Bm]
[Dm] Slap on the shoe, probably slipped in the right.
He [G] gripped his [F] rag and then he held it [Dm] tight.
He stopped and told someone to zip out the sweater.
I said, you're a mighty little [G] boy to be workin' that [Em] way.
He said, I [Dm] like it.
We think we be [A] twins.
He jammed all the [Dm] poppin' and he said it again.
Get [D] a rhythm.
When you get the blues, come [G] on, get a rhythm.
When you [D] get the blues, man, I'm frozen down.
It's just a nigga's shoe.
Just a million dollars, what's it gonna be for [G] you?
Get a rhythm.
[A] When you [D] get the [A] blues, come [G] on, get a rhythm.
