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--
LEAD TACIT--
A B7 E E A A E E B7 B7 E E
