about

A song about a man who has very little in life as far as possessions go but has everything he needs, happiness and the blues (bit of irony there as this started out as a blues song and ended up country-blues).

lyrics

All I Got Is Blues (c) Darryl John 2018

Capo on 2

(E-F#m-Am-E)

(E) Ain't got no (F#m) cigarettes, (Am) Ain't got no (E) booze.
(E) Ain't got no (F#m) wife at home,
(Am) That's what I (E) choose.
(E) No kids no (F#m) dog no cat, (Am) Ain't got no (E) shoes.
(E) Ain't got (F#m) much at all,
(Am) All I got is (E) blues.

(E-F#m-Am-E)

(E) Ain't got no (F#m) fancy clothes, (Am) Ain't got no (E) phone.
(E) Ain't got no (F#m) place to go,
(Am) That I call (E) home.
(E) No job no (F#m) cash no tax, (Am) No union (E) dues.
(E) Ain't got (F#m) much at all,
(Am) All I got is (E) blues.

(A) I’m a free (Am) standing man, (E) I’m all alone (E7)
(A) I’m doin’ (Am) the best I can
(B) All on my (B7) own

(E-F#m-Am-E) x 2

(E) Ain't got no (F#m) enemies, (Am) Only got two (E) friends.
(E) Me, myself (F#m) go with I, (Am) That’s where it (E) ends.
(E) Got this here (F#m) old guitar,
(Am) And a few (E) clues.
(E) Ain't got (F#m) much at all,
(Am) All I got is (E) blues.

(A) I’m a free (Am) standing man, (E) I’m all alone (E7)
(A) I’m doin’ (Am) the best I can
(B) All on my (B7) own

(E-F#m-Am-E) x 2

(A) I’ll reach my (Am) destination,
(E) In my own sweet (E7) time,
(A) Where I lay my (Am) head to rest,
(B) Really suits (B7) me fine.

(E) I’ll sing this (F#m) one last time, (Am) Ain’t got no (E) news.
(E) I’m a real (F#m) happy man, cos
(Am) All I got is (E) blues.
(Am) All I got is (E) blues,
(Am) All I got is (E) blues.
