Suffer To Sing The Blues

A
I sat in on a poker game, last 
Friday night
A
I won a couple hands, people, I was 
doing all right
A                      D         
I bet my money on a straight, 
                      A
from the nine up to the King
A                                 
But when the dealer showed his 
                          D
hand he had the same damn thing
          E        D              
It seems I always lose, you've got
     C#                            
 to suffer if you want to sing the 
 A     E
blues

[Verse]
               A
You know some times I play the 
horses, but it seems I never win
A
I went out to the races late last 
week again
                  D          
This time I won three hundred 
                              A
dollars, but as I left the track
A                                 
Some greasy man come up behind me,
                    D
 stuck a gun in my back
          E                        
It seems I always lose, you've got 
    D                            
to suffer if you want to sing the 
  A      E    E7
blues

[Verse]
           A
I've got a sweet little girl, called
 run-around Sue
A
She's kind of rank looking, but she 
knows how to do
              D
Well now old Sue she's got a 
boyfriend, they call him Gentleman 
Jim
          A                     
I said "Listen Susan sweetheart, 
               D
choose me or him"
                   E    N.C.        
    D                               
 A   E7
And she said, "You lose", you've got
 to suffer if you want to sing the 
blues

[Chorus]
                      F          
Well you can sing a happy song if 
             A
you're glad (if you're glad)
A                 D
You can sing a protest song if 
you're mad (if you're mad)
     B                         
Ah, but if you want to sing the 
              E
blues, then boy you'd better learn 
how to lose

[Verse]
It seems like I have had these same 
A
old blues now since old time began

So I went to talk my troubles to the
 hoodoo man
 D
I told him all about my problem, and
 I asked him what was wrong
    A                              
He said you got to live the blues, 
                           D
if you want to sing your song
                 E                 
Seems like I'll always lose, you've
         D                         
 got to suffer if you want to sing 
      A  E
the blues


[Chorus]
                      F          
Well you can sing a happy song if 
              A
you're glad (if you're glad)
A                 D         
You can sing a protest song if 
                             A
you're mad (if you're mad)
     B                         
Ah, but if you want to sing the 
       A   B  E
blues, then boy you'd better learn 
how to lose

             E7             A
I went and bought myself a lottery 
ticket, just to change my luck
A
I thought I wouldn't mind the 
losing, cause it only cost a buck
          D             A     
I won an electric poster, and a 
   D              A               
baritone sax, but I had to pawn my
                              D
 cloth just to pay off the tax
            E                      
It seems I always lose, you've got 
     D              A
to suffer if you want to...
    E                         D
I always lose, you've got to suffer 
if you want...
            E                      
How come I always lose, you've got 
     D                           
to suffer if you want to sing the 
  A
blues
