Hank Williams - The Blues Come Around guitar chord

The Blues Come Around (Died 1953 at age 29)

by Hank Williams

(1951)

[C]

Once I was happy as I could be,

[F] [G7] [C]

But I let a gal make a fool of me,

And ever since she let me down,

[G7] [C]

The blues come around when the sun goes down.

Chorus:

[C7] [F]

Oh, the blues come a-round,

[C]

Oh the blues come a-round,

[G7]

Lawd, the blues come around,

[C]

Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes down.

As long as the sun is in the sky,

[F] [C]

These doggone blues never make me cry,

But ever since she left this town,

[G7] [C]

The blues come around when the sun goes down.

Repeat chorus:

I built my castles very high,

[F] [C]

And then she went and said goodbye,

And ever since she tore 'em down,

[G7] [C]

The blues come around when the sun goes down.

Repeat chorus:

Once she called me all her own,

[F] [C]

But now she's gone and I'm alone,

And ever evenin' I'm sorrow bound,

[D7] [C]

'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down.

Repeat chorus:
