                 G      C        G    
 Just when every ray of hope was gone;
                          C                G    
 I should have known that you would come a-long.

 Another lonely night, a nameless town,
                        C                    G     
 If sleep don't take me first; you'll come a-round.
                   D7                   C      D7         G     
 'Cos I know I can always count on you; my old friend the blues.
