Poor Boy Blues

Verse 1:
E MajorE
Do I want you? Yes I do

Do I need you? Baby you know it's true
A augmentedA                             BB       E MajorE
But I ain't got nothin' that you can use
         B7B7             A augmentedA                  BB         E MajorE
So I'm sittin' on my own here, with these poor boy blues


Verse 2:
E MajorE
One day, baby, you will see
                                  A augmentedA
You're gonna give all your love to me
                                BB      E MajorE
I'm the one, babe, that you're gonna choose
B7B7                A augmentedA                BB         E MajorE
But in the meantime, I got these poor boy blues


Pick it son, pick it nice


Verse 3:
E MajorE
Things won't always be the same
                                A augmentedA
Someday soon, everything will change
                                  BB       E MajorE
You'll tell your mama her baby's got good news
B7B7                A augmentedA                 BB        E MajorE
But until then, well, I got these poor boy blues
B7B7                A augmentedA                 BB         E MajorE
But until then, well, I got these poor boy blues
