D A E  4x *

        D         AI ain't high on cocaine
        EI don't need the pain
     D            A                EIt's bad for your brain and that's true
        D           AI ain't dropping no names
        EI ain't playing no games
         D         A           EI'm just one step ahead of the blues
D         A           EOne step ahead of the blues

D A E  2x

     D          AFrom Memphis to Reno
     EFrom New York to Tokyo
     D           A           EI'll try to come through for you
  D            AI won't do you in
           E   I ain't no fair-weather friend
         D         A           EI'm just one step ahead of the blues
D         A           EOne step ahead of the blues

D A E  

        D            AI don't rob, I don't steal
        EI ain't begging no meal
  D               A             EI ain't driven to drink, I'm no fool
        D            AI don't run with the crowd
        EI don't talk big and loud
         D         A           EI'm just one step ahead of the blues
D         A           EOne step ahead of the blues

D A E  2x

          D       AI've been under a spell
             EI ain't been feeling well
     D         A                 EI've been in a shell, and that's true
D              ADealing with a curse
       EBut it couldn't be worse
          D         A           EI've been one step ahead of the blues
D         A           EOne step ahead of the blues
D         A           EOne step ahead of the blues
D         A           EOne step ahead of the blues
