C
Once I was happy as I could be,
FG7C
But I let a gal make a fool of me,
And ever since she let me down,
G7C
The blues come around when the sun goes down.
Chorus:
C7F
Oh, the blues come a-round,
C
Oh the blues come a-round,
G7
Lawd, the blues come around,
C
Ev'ry evenin' when the sun goes down.
As long as the sun is in the sky,
FC
These doggone blues never make me cry,
But ever since she left this town,
G7C
The blues come around when the sun goes down.
Repeat Chorus:
I built my castles very high,
FC
And then she went and said goodbye,
And ever since she tore 'em down,
G7C
The blues come around when the sun goes down.
Repeat Chorus:
Once she called me all her own,
FC
But now she's gone and I'm alone,
And ever evenin' I'm sorrow bound,
D7C
'Cause the blues come around when the sun goes down.
