THE REASON WHY I PLAY THE BLUES





LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW
THE SKY’S ONE BIG BLACK CLOUD
THERE’S THUNDER AND LIGHTNING
HEAR THAT RAIN CRASHING DOWN
WANNA SIT ON MY PORCH
BUT I’M HERE TRAPPED INSIDE
STILL I’VE A CERTAIN WAY
TO TURN A BAD THING ROUND

(PRE-CHORUS)

I JUST PICK UP MY OLD GUITAR
STRUM ME A CHORD OF THAT TWELVE BAR

(CHORUS)

STRAIGHT AWAY FEEL IT LIFT MY MOOD
YEAH THAT’S THE REASON WHY I PLAY THE BLUES
THERE’S TRULY SOMETHING IN THAT GROOVE
YEAH THAT’S THE REASON WHY I PLAY THE BLUES
SO IN THAT I MUST CONCLUDE
YEAH THAT’S THE REASON WHY I PLAY THE BLUES

OPENING MY WALLET
TO FIND THAT IT’S SO BARE
DON’T HAVE A SINGLE DIME
TO FULFILL ALL MY NEEDS
WANNA TRAVEL THE WORLD
WITNESS THOSE SIGHTS AND SOUNDS
STILL I’VE A CERTAIN WAY
TO HELP WHILE MY HEART BLEEDS

(PRE-CHORUS)

(CHORUS)

HELP ME FIND SOLACE
IN A WORLD THAT’S AWELESS
HELP TO BRING ME PEACE
WHERE ALL MY TROUBLES SEISE

(SOLO)

AIN’T GOT NO LOVING ARMS
TO HOLD ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
HOPING TO FIND THEM IN
ONE OF MY TOMORROW’S
THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE WHO’LL
LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM
STILL I’VE A CERTAIN WAY
TO DROWN ALL MY SORROWS

(PRE-CHORUS)

(CHORUS)

(PRE-CHORUS)

(CHORUS)
