(d) lord I went to the doctor, he took one look,
He said the (g) trouble with you aint (d) in my book,
Ill (g) tell you what it is but it (d) aint good news,
Youve got an awful bad case of them (a7) low down (d) blues.
Chorus
(d) Ive got the (g) mean old miseries (d) in my soul,
I (g) went to the river, but the (d) waters too cold,
Ive (g) walked the floor till Ive (d) wore out my shoes,
Lord theyre killin me, I mean them (a7) low down (d) blues.
(d) lord I never knew a man could feel so bad,
I (g) never knew livin could (g) be so sad,
(g) all I do is (d) set and cry,
Lord Id have to get better, be- (a7) fore I could (d) die.
