THE DOORS - Runnin' Blue

Poor Otis dead and gone, left me here to sing his song,
pretty little girl with the red dress on, poor Otis dead and gone.


         Am                                                    G
Back down, turn around slowly, try it again,
     Bm              A      C                     Bm        A   C
remembering when,   it was easy, try it again,
                             Bm                  A
much too easy remembering when.


D  A          E7            A       D
All right, look at my shoes,
        A            E7         A7   D
not quite the walkin' blues.
            A       E7                  A   D
Don't fight, too much too lose.
            A          E7
Can't fight the runnin' blues.


G      Am                                        Am               G   Bm           A C
Well,   I've got the runnin' blues, runnin' away,     back to L.A.
                           Bm                  A C                         Bm          A
Got to find the dock on the bay,     maybe find it back in L.A.

Runnin' scared, runnin' blue, goin' so fast, what'll I do?

All right, look at my shoes,
        A            E7         A7   D

Can't fight the runnin' blues.
