LYRIC FOR SALE

By Curtis

Verse 1:
C# min A
Don't know why things turned out like they did
E G#7
I did all I could do, wasn't nothing that I hid
C# min A
It's been storming, it's been gray, it's been raining every day
E G#7
And it looks like the blues is here to stay.

Verse 2:

Monday is dark, Tuesday is dreary

Wednesday's fine till noon leaves me weary.

Thursday's the same and Friday's the storm

The weekend comes but it don't feel warm.

Chorus:
C#m B
The blues ain't just a color, it's a state of mind
A E
A shadow that lingers, a tie that binds.
C#m B
Through the dark and the rain, I try to find my way
A E
But it looks like the blues is here to stay.

Verse 3:

Don't need your sorrow, don't need your pity

Just the way it is in this bayou city

The creeks will rise, the reservoirs will flood

The hurricane's coming, I can feel it in my blood.

Outro:
C#m A
The bayou's my home, I've learned to survive
E G#7
Through the floods and the storms, I'll stay alive
C#m A
With the blues in my veins and the rain in the sky
C#m G#7 C#m
I'll weather the storm, I've no need to cry.
