[C] [F] [Gb] [G]
I was born on the 13th of April and born on a birthday [Dm] day.
Bad luck and troubles [G] are all that come my way.
I [C] should be flying all over the desert.
It's like that old old MacBrayer.
[G] Trying to find something here so I can make [E] it.
[D] Mmm, I'm so tired that [Db] I [C] could cry.
[Dm] [Gb] I [G] came to you looking poor and worn up and down.
[D] I [G] came to the city boy long before my time.
Try to make my fortune here, eat well, wine and dine.
[C] But boy when I got here, it went the other way.
[G] I slept in the park all night long and walked the streets all [Db] day.
[D] Bad old bugger luck you [Db] got.
[C] I feel like [F] I could [Gb] cry.
[G] I came to you looking poor and worn up and [Am] down.

I went down to the well there to try to get some help.
Said no boy we're sorry, we don't have enough for ourselves.
[C] Well they threw me out of the office and told me to go away.
[G] You come back and try your luck.
The boys are mother [C] dicks.
[D] Bad old bugger luck you got.
[C] I feel like I [F] could [Gb] cry.
[G] I came to you looking poor and worn up [Am] and down.

Oh [Eb] look at the mess I done got myself into [G] now.
[Fm] Been fooling around this [Ebm] old town for [Gm] about three long months in a row.
And ain't been having nothing here [G] but bust a luck boy.
[C] I can't [Bb] kill nothing and won't nothing [G] die.
[Eb] I done got down to my [Bb] last [G] 20 cents.
I don't know what to do with this.
[Fm] I should try to [Eb] make a phone call home [G] or even try to go home and kick [C] this in.
See if I can build it up a little tasty.
[G] Look at my shoes, they done fell a [Gm] ton.
My socks are hanging out.
I don't know what to do.
I think I'll maybe go down on Port Authority Street.
[C] [G] See if I can look up my old friend, [Bb] Buddy Guy Jr.
Well.
Maybe I might get a little hand [G] out.
But on the other hand, [Bb] before I do, I think [F] I feel like [Gm] playing the blues before I go. Alright.
