Billie's Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Chorus 1]
[C][G]
[C]I love my man[F]
I'm a liar if I [C]say I don't
I [F]love my man
I'm a liar if I [C]say I don't
[Dm][Em][Ebm]
But [Dm]I'll quit my man
[G]I'm a liar if I say[C] I won[F]'t[C][G]

[Chorus 2]
I've [C]been your slave, [F]baby
Ever [C]since I've been your babe
I've [F]been your slave
Ever since I've [C]been your babe
But be[Dm]fore I'll be your dog
[G]I'll see you in [C]your gra[F]ve[C][G]

[Chorus 3]
My man [C]wouldn't give me no breakfast
Wouldn't give me no dinner
Squawked about my supper
then he put me out[F#]doors
[F]Had the nerve to lay
a matchbox on [C]my clothes
I [Dm]didn't have so many
[G]But I had a lon[C]g,
long [F]ways to [C]go[G]

[Chorus 4]
[C]I a[F]in't good looking
[C]And my hair ain't cur[F#]led
[F]I ain't good looking
And my [C]hair ain't [Dm]curled[Em][Ebm]
But [Dm]my mother, she gave me something
[G]It's going to carry me
through [C]this [F]world[C][G]

[Chorus 5]
Some men [C]like me 'cause I'm happy
Some 'cause I'm snappy
Some call me honey
Others think I've [F#]got money
[F]Some tell me Billie
Baby, you're built [C]for [Dm]speed[Em][Ebm]
Now, if you [Dm]put that all togethe[Ab]r
[G]Makes me everything
a good man [C]needs[F][C]
