[Em] Sitting here in L.A. looking down at my shoe
Drowning my troubles on [A] small talky blues
Sitting here [D] wondering if I could have been born
[A]
[Em] Think moving is losing and now I can't see
I let a false hearted woman make [A] a fool out of me
And all I got [D] left now is a bad case of Birmingham [B] blues
[Em] [A] [Bm] Days are alright, [C] can't take these L.A. [Bm] nights
This place is a jungle when the man's on his [D] own
Got [E] to go home
[B] [A] Had to be a fine woman [Em] back in Birmingham town
Took care of my money and she didn't play around
All I [A] got left [D] now is a bad case of [B] Birmingham blues
[E] [Em] Days are alright, can't take these L.A. nights
This place is a jungle when the man's on [D] his own
[Em] Got to go home
