The Blues Come Around

C
Once I was happy as I could be,
    F                  G7      C
But I let a gal make a fool of me,

And ever since she let me down,
                                G7       C
The blues come around when the sun goes down.


                   Chorus:
         C7          F
Oh, the blues come a-round,
                    C
Oh the blues come a-round,
           G7
Lawd, the blues come around,
                                 C
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes down.




As long as the sun is in the sky,
       F                          C
These doggone blues never make me cry,

But ever since she left this town,
                               G7       C
The blues come around when the sun goes down.



              Repeat chorus:


I built my castles very high,
     F                         C
And then she went and said goodbye,

And ever since she tore 'em down,
                                G7       C
The blues come around when the sun goes down.


                 Repeat chorus:


Once she called me all her own,
    F                       C
But now she's gone and I'm alone,

And ever evenin' I'm sorrow bound,
                                       D7       C
'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down.

                      Repeat chorus:
