Intro
Verse 1
Just when every ray of hope was gone;
I should have known that you would come a-long.
I can't believe I ever doubted you; my old friend the blues.
Verse 2
Another lonely night, a nameless town,
If sleep don't take me first; you'll come a-round.
'Cos I know I can always count on you; my old friend the blues.
Bridge 1
Lovers leave and friends will let you down.
But you're the only sure thing that I've found.
No matter what I do, I'll never lose, my old friend the blues.
Solo
Bridge 2
Lovers leave and friends will let you down.
But you're the only sure thing that I've found.
No matter what I do, I'll never lose, my old friend the blues.
Coda
Just let me hide my weary heart in you; my old friend the blues.
