Just when every ray of hope was gone
                          C               G
I should have known  that you would come along
                   D            D7
I can't believe  I ever doubted you
C      D7         G

Another lonely night in this town
                       C                  G
The Sleep dont take me first you'll come around
             D               D7
I know I can always count on you
C      D7         G
My old friend the blues
G7                 C
Lovers leave and  friends will  let you down
                  G
But your the only sure thing that I found
                 D             D7
No matter what I do I'll never lose
C      D7         G
My old friend the blues

And your the only sure thing that I found
                 D             D7
No matter what I do I'll never lose
C      D7         G
My old friend the blues
G                   D     D7
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
C      D7          G
My old friend the blues
