[Verse 1]
E E7 A F#m7
Well I'd already turned the lights out, almost gone to sleep
B A B E
When a little voice inside me asked, are you all you thought you'd be?
E7
This late night singing's just like dreaming
A F#m7
More like talking to yourself
B A B E Esus4 E
I don't find many answers, but the music seems to help
[Chorus]
Amaj7 G#m
It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then
F#m7 B E A E
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees
Amaj7 G#m
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine
F#m7 B E A E
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me
[Verse 2]
B E E7 A F#m
I heard they got Suzanna's money, like they stole Fred Neil's and mine
B A B E A E
Well, I guess that reinforces music's all we've got sometimes
A E E7
Life's mostly handshakes and divorces
A F#m7
True blue friends that bend and sway
B A B E
While the price of living honestly comes hard earned every day
[Chorus]
Amaj7 G#m7
It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then
F#m7 B E A E
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees
Amaj7 G#m
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine
F#m7 B E A E
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me

[Verse 3]
A E E7 A F#m7
God, been recovering from surgery, yea, they took a piece of me
B A B E A E
Well, I've been cut much deeper, I always got back on my feet
A E E7 A F#m7
But with the passing of John Henry, then the loss of Stevie Ray;
B7 A B E A E
I see the light of our own time get dimmer every day
[Out-Chorus]
Amaj7 G#m7
It's just a blue mood I'm in, comes every now and then
F#m7 B E A E
It's the kind that softly knocks you down to your knees
Amaj7 G#m
But it's gonna pass in time, in a day or two, well, I'll be fine
F#m7 B E A E
Just tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me
A F#m7 B E A E A E A E
Yeah, tonight those blues got the last ol' laugh on me
