Good Morning Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You[A]'re[D] go[G]nna hear the truth,[Em]
because [C]that's all the blues is.
[Gm]The blue[C]s was born where
miseries were born [D]and lived,
[C]deep in the south on plantations and riverboats.
Melodies
came out of songs of slavery,
spir[G]ituals moaned [D]and hummed in the
[G]African style, minstrels
and plantation hollers.
The words [C]were always simple.
[Gm]Folk singers carri[C]ed their tales of
[G]woe and loneliness from
town [C]to town.
They told the truth,
the unvarnished truth as they knew it.
Sad, lonely, [G]you know, [C]the blues.[D]
[G]Good morning blues,
[C]blues how do [G]you [D]do?
[C]Good morning blues,
blues how do you [G]do?
Well [D]I'm [C]doing alright
[G]I lay dow[C]n las[G]t night I[C]
was turning from side to [G]side
Yes, I [C]laid down last night I was turnin'
from side to [G]side
[Gdim]Now, don[D]'t you get me wrong I wasn[C]'t sick,
I was just [G]dissat[Gm]isfied[G][C]
[D]When I [G]got up this morning
[C]You know the blues was
walking round my [G]bed[C]
[G]I tell you when I g[C]ot up this morning,
the blues was walking around my [G]bed.
[C]Yes, [G]yes
[C]When I wen[D]t to eat my breakfast
You know the [C]blues
Yeah, the blues
was all in my [G]brain[C][G]
Oh
Lord,
Lord have [C]mercy
Lord please have mercy [G]on me
Oh
[C]Lord have mercy,
Lord won't you please
have mercy on [G]me.
This earth left [D]abusing my heart and my [C]soul,
I said my soul is full [G]of misery.[C][G]
You
