Verse 1:

                G      C        G
Just when every ray of hope was gone;
                         C                G
I should have known that you would come a-long.
                  D7                C      D7         G
I can't believe I ever doubted you; my old friend the blues.

Another lonely night, a nameless town,
                       C                    G
If sleep don't take me first; you'll come a-round.
                  D7                   C      D7         G
'Cos I know I can always count on you; my old friend the blues.

                    G    D               G
But you're the only sure thing that I've found.
                 D7                   C      D7         G
No matter what I do, I'll never lose, my old friend the blues.
