(Intro)

F#m7

For the last time

Bm7

I watched Old Man Took bait his hook

F#m7

And then throw his line

Em7

Pick up his wine

F#m7

He's a friend of mine

Bm7

Known him all my life and his wife

F#m7

'Neath the swayin' pine

Em7 F#m7

And the clingin' vine

Just before he left

Bm7

He said now young man

Em7 Bm7

Take good care don't let the bugs bite

Em7 Bm7

Please make sure to say a word at night

Em7 F#m7

For all your brothers feeling blue

Bm7 F#m7

Blue, blue, blue

Em7

All the time

F#m7

So I stayed awhile

Bm7

Took my tea alone, called it home

F#m7

Like a playing child

Em7

Running wild

F#m7

Heard a bluejay call

Bm7

Said we got you now

Hope you bow

F#m7

To the old man's word

Em7 F#m7

I'm sure you heard

Just before he left

Bm7

He said now young man

Em7 Bm7

Take good care don't let the bugs bite

Em7 Bm7

Please make sure to say a word at night

Em7 F#m7

For all your brothers feeling blue

Bm7 F#m7

Blue, blue, blue

Em7

All the time

Bm7

Now young man

Em7 Bm7

Take good care don't let the bugs bite

Em7 Bm7

Please make sure to say a word at night

Em7 Bm7 Em7

For all your brothers feeling blue

Bm7 Em7

Feeling blue

Bm7 Em7

Feeling blue

Bm7 Em7

Feeling blue

Bm7 Em7

Feeling blue

Bm7 Em7

Feeling blue

Bm7 Em7
