The Blues Is All I Ever Had Lyrics

Intro: ||: E - D9 :||
Some folks always seem to find the good things,
Other folks get mixed up with the bad;
Don't ask me what I know about the good things --
M7
The blues is all I ever had.
To some, the earth's a world of friendly faces,
For those lucky few, I'm awful glad;
My world's been a string of second places --
M7
The blues is all I ever had.
When I first met him, I thought that maybe
He could change this lonely life I led;
When he smiled and said, "I love you, baby,"
Silly girl, I b'lieved each word he said.
Guess it's time for me to say "good bye" now --
Didn't mean to leave you feelin' sad.
Since he's gone, what is there left to try now?
M7
The blues is all I ev - er had.
