Oh [C] baby, oh [G] baby, oh [D] baby, oh my [C] baby, [G] oh baby.
[D]
As [G] I stand by [D] your flame, I [Em] get burned [C] once again.
[G]
Feeling low [D] down and [C]
blue, [G] [C]
[G] low down [D] blue.
Now as [G] I sit by [D] the fire of [Em] your warm, sexy, sweet [C] desire,
[G]
I want you to know, [D]
I got the
blues [C] for you, for [G] you.
[D]
[A]
Every night you've [D] been away, I [A]
sat down and [D] I prayed [C] that you'd see in [G] the arms of
[D] a guy who [Em] would bring you [C] alive, I hope you'll feel alive.
[G]
Someone who won't drag you down, [D] someone who won't misuse you, accuse [C] you, abuse you, oh [G] baby.

[G] In the saddened [D] sheets of time, I [Em] hope I'll find true peace of [C] mind.
[G] Love is a bed, [D] love is a bed full [G] of blues, blues.
[D]
I got [C] the blues for [G] you, I won't tell you.
[D] I [C] got the blues, the blues [G] for you, baby.
[D]
I [C] got the blues all night [G] for you, baby.
Oh baby, oh baby, oh [D] baby.
I cut off all my [C] hair, I don't know which way [G] to turn, I don't know which way to go,
I can't watch [D] TV, I can't watch the late show.
I [C]
got the [G] blues, late night blues for you, baby.
[D] I find myself three o'clock in the morning, [C] crying, baby.
You're somewhere [G] watching a Rolling Stone, I may hear this [D] bed of blues all along.
Singing a [C] song for you, singing a [G] song for you, singing a [D] song for you, you, [C] you.
