Have you heard that

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

[G#5] ring
It's the
[F#] same old blues,
[E] same old blues a-
[G#5]-gain
VERSE 3:
When you give me the
[G#5] business, you know I get a mind
'Cause I've got a lot of
[C#5] patience, and I've got a lot of
[G#5] time
It's the same old
[C#5] story, tell me where does it
[G#5] end
It's the
[F#] same old blues,
[E] same old blues a-
[G#5]-gain

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