I wanna tell you a story,

a story all about the blues.

[Verse 2]

          D
I used to have me somebody,

she mean't the whole world to me.
        G
But she left me for someone else,
                 D
left my heart in misery.

Yes, she did!
      A
But I knew the day she left me
G                             D
that the blues was gonna be a part of me.
         A
Yes, it was.


[Verse 3]

          D
Since you left me with the blues,

it was the last thing I thought I could use.
        G
But I'm glad that you left me,
                 D
left me with the blues.
       A
If you hadn't given me the blues,
G                     D                  D
I wouldn't find myself someone sweet as you.
    A
And I'm gonna tell you.


[Chorus]

       D
I said hey, hey, the blues is allright.

Hey, hey, the blues is allright.

I said hey, hey, the blues is allright.
D
Hey, hey, the blues is allright.

  G
Allright , allright
      D
every day and night.
