Born With The Blues chords

[C]Dad was my hero God called him [F]away
Momma was [C]lonely and I was [G7]afraid
With no one to [C]lean on I turned to the [F]booze
Hard times come [C]early [G7]when you’re born with[C] the blues

Railroads were leaving and airplanes were [F]in
The great war was [C]brewing about to [G7]begin
Hungry and [C]lonesome nothing to [F]lose
Raised in a [C]boxcar [G7]and born with the [C]blues

Born with the blues trouble in [F]mind
Smoking and [C]drinking by the time I was [G7]nine
In debt from the [C]start I’m still payin[F]g my dues
Crazy and [C]lonely [G7]and born with the [C]blues

In spite of the cocaine and in spite of it [F]all
God gave me a [C]woman to cushion the [G7]fall
You’re like Paul of[C] the bible spreading [F]good news
A man on a [C]journey [G7]and born with the [C]blues
