   VERSE 1:

    A               B7             E          E

   Just around the corner there's heartache--

    A                    B7    E       E

   Down the street that losers use--

       A           B7              E          E

   If you can wade in through the teardrops,

           A              B7           E      E

   You'll find me at the Home of the Blues--

    

   VERSE 2:

   A           B7           E          E

   I walk and cry while my heartbeat

          A             B7          E      E

   Keeps time with the drag of my shoes--

        A         B7                  E         E  

   The sun never shines through this window of mine--

         A           B7           E      E

   It's dark at the Home of the Blues--

    

   BREAK:

                 A       A                        E          E

   Oh, but the place is filled with the sweetest mem'ries--

    B7           B7          E       E

   Mem'ries so sweet that I cry--

     A               A          E            E

   Dreams that I've had left me  feelin' so bad,

   F#7            F#7         F#7           B7    B7

   I just want to give up and lay down and die--

    

   VERSE 3:

    A            B7              E           E

   So if you've just lost your sweetheart,

           A                B7           E       E

   And it seems there's no good way to choose--

    A              B7          E          E

   Come along with me, mis'ry loves company--

           A              B7           E       E

   You're welcome at the Home of the Blues--
