written by Waylon Jennings and Tony Joe White

Corrections welcome (especially with the lyrics).

Capo II

INTRO: Em Am (8x)

Em Am

Like a long time friend you see now and then

C D Em

One you thought would always be there

Am

Wasn't nothin but a song for me to lean on

C D Em

At least it showed me somebody cared

C D Em

It was somethin I never thought I'd lose

C D (Am) Em

So tell me, whatever happened to the blues

You can follow the tracks all the way back

To the Louisiana no-lane jive

And Ol' John R., they took it so far

Did somebody let a good thing die

Maybe there was nothin that they could do

Tell me, whatever happened to the blues

BRIDGE:

C D Em

Don't you know the music was a part of me

Am C D C Em

I ain't talkin what you been doin on the MTV, Lord

SOLO

Know that I've heard your street-wise words

They been jumpin up in my face

Wastin lots of time a whole lot of mine

Just puttin people in their place

You can pick on me if you really want to

But tell me, whatever happened to the blues

Somebody tell me, whatever happened to the blues
