[Intro] C  G  E4/A  Am

C                  G
 Just the other day, I heard my friend say
E4/A               Am
 Life was oh so bad, love was all he had
C                    G 
 You know all day long I sing sad songs

E4/A                Am
 Got the blues feel, things no doctor can heal
C                    G
 You know that's okay, I never change my ways
E4/A            Am                       E
 Maybe I am wrong but I'll soon be gone

D        C#m         F#
If I fail no one can ever tell
E          D   C#m      G
And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone

[Solo] C  G  E4/A  Am  E

D        C#m         F#
If I fail no one can ever tell
E          D   C#m      G
And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone

C                        G
 I don't need no friends, I don't play no games
E4/A                        Am
 I need lots of room to roam before I go home
C                 G
 You know someday, Lord, if things go my way
E4/A                           Am                E
 I'll have a son of my own left here to carry on

D        C#m         F#
If I fail no one can ever tell
E          D   C#m      G
And if I'm wrong, I'll soon be gone

[Solo] C  G  E4/A  Am

C                   G
 Just the other day, I heard my friend say
E4/A                        Am
 Life would treat him so bad, love was all he had
C                      G
 You know all day long, I sing sad songs

E4/A               Am
 Got the blues feel, things no doctor can heal
C                     G
 You know that's okay, I never, never change my ways
E4/A             Am
 Maybe I am wrong but I'll soon be gone

( C  G  E4/A  Am )
