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
