Chords for Sinatra and Louis Armstrong Birth of the Blues

_ _ _ _ _ [F] Professor A, _ _ shall we delve into the history of the BLUZ?
Let it proceed.
[Fm] _ [Db] _ These are the [F] blues, [Bb] _
[Eb] _ _ _ nothing but blues, _ [Bb]
the blues.
[E] _ [Eb] _ [B] _ _ _ [Bm] _ [Bb] _
[F] Oh, _ [Bb] _ [A] they say [Ab] some people long ago [Fm] were [Cm] _ [Dbm] searching for a [F] different tune,
_ [Dbm] one that they could [F] croon, [G] _ [Dbm] [A] only they [Gm] can.
[Bb] _ _ [Db] _ They only had the rhythm, [D] so _ [Bb] they _ [A] started [Ab] swinging to and fro.
[C] _ _ _ [Dbm] They didn't know just what to [F] use, [Dbm] this [F] is how the _ [Dbm] BLUZ [Bb] really began.
[Gb] _ [Ab] _ [Bb] _ They heard the breeze [B] _ [C] in the trees, [Db] _ _
[Bb] singing [Gb] BLUZ [D] [Eb] melodies.
_ [E]
And [B] they made that [F] sound, _ [C] _ the start of [Bb] the BLUZ.
Yes, [F] and yes, another thing, [Bb] daddy.
What's that?
And from the jail, _ [B] they came away, [Cm] _
_ [Dbm] all but [Dm] down.
[D] Oh, she [Eb] was a frantic chick.
[Em] And [F] they played that.
They played it as part of the [Bbm] [F] BLUZ.
[Bb] I'm ready, daughter.
From a whip of [D] will, [A] up on [D] a hill, [A] they [D] grabbed a new note. _ _ _
They pushed [G] it through a horn, [B] _ [Em] until it was [G] born [Em] _ into a [C] blue note.
_ [G] _ _ _
And then they [Bb] nursed it, [F] _ [Cm] they rehearsed [Dbm] it, [Bb] and then [D] they gave [Eb] out the news.
What did they [Em] do?
That [F] the [G] Southland referred [F] _
_ _ [D] to the _ [G] _ _ [F] _
_ [G] BLUZ.
[Eb] Yeah, they nursed it, _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [F] [Ab] got out [G] that news.
Ah, _ [Eb] the Southland, _ [F]
they gave [G] birth to the [Gb] [E] BLUZ.
[Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [N] _
