E--0-2-4--| This small lick is usually played just before every line in the verse. I've
marked where the lick occurs in the song with the * symbol.
VERSE
*A B7 E
Just around the corner there's heartache,
*A B7 E
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
*A B7 E
I walk and cry while my heart beats,
* A B7 E
keeps time of the drag of my shoe,
* A B7 E
the sun never shines through this window of mine,
CHORUS
A B7 E
it's dark, at the home of the blues.
BRIDGE

A E
Ohhh but the place, is filled with the sweetest memories,
B7 E

A
dreams that i've had,
E
left me feelin' so bad,
B7 E
I just wanna give up and lay down and die.
VERSE
A B7 E
Sooo if you've just lost your sweetheart,
* A B7 E
and it seems there's no good way to choose,
*A B7 E
come along with me, misery loves company,

you're welcome, at the home of the blues.
