*A B7 E
Just around the corner there's heartache,

down the street that losers use,
* A B7 E
if you can wade in through the teardrop,
CHORUS
A B7 E
you'll find me, at the home of the blues.
VERSE

I walk and cry while my heart beats,

keeps time of the drag of my shoe,
* A B7 E
the sun never shines through this window of mine,

it's dark, at the home of the blues.
