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.
