Have you heard that

Yes, I
[G#] heard the news, it's the
[F#] same old blues a-
[A#5]-gain
VERSE 2:
When I wrote you a
[A#5] letter, you must have read it wrong
I stood at your

[A#5] ring
It's the
[G#] same old blues,
[F#] same old blues a-
[A#5]-gain
VERSE 3:
When you give me the

[A#5] time
It's the same old
[D#5] story, tell me where does it
[A#5] end
It's the
[G#] same old blues,
[F#] same old blues a-
[A#5]-gain

I'm gonna find me a
[A#5] mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to
[D#5] you, and I ain't coming
[A#5] out
Yeah, I heard that
[D#5] rumour, tell me where does it
[A#5] end
It's the
[G#] same old blues,
[F#] same old blues a-
[A#5]-gain
