The Birth Of The Blues chords by Mel Torme

Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro: D7 G7 Dm7 G7 C Fdim C

A7  G#7   G7    C   C/B        Dm7   G7
They heard the breeze    in the trees
 G7M      C   E7   F
Singing weird melodies
         D7        G7                 C    G#7  G7
And they made that   the start of the blues
A7  G#7 G7   C  Am           Dm7
And  from  a jail    came the wail
G7    C    E7       F
Of a down-hearted frail
          D7         G7     Dm7    G7     C    Fdim C
And they played that    as part of the blues
C       C/B     E7   Dm6       E7
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill
Dm6        Bm5-/7  E7  Bm5-/7
They took a new note
 E7                  A7  A4/7         A7
Pushed it through a horn  til it was born
 Am7    D7        G7
Into a new note
A7    G#7   G7   C      Am    Dm7    G7
And  then they nursed it, rehearsed it
G   C  Bm5-/7  E7   F
And gave out  the news
          D7  Dm7   G7                   C    Am   G#7 G7
That the southland    gave birth to the blues
C       C/B     E7   Dm6       E7
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill
Dm6        Bm5-/7  E7   Bm5-/7
They took a new note
 E7                  A7  A4/7         A7
Pushed it through a horn  til it was born
 Am7    D7        G7
Into a new note
A7    G#7   G7   C      Am    Dm7    G7
And  then they nursed it, rehearsed it
G   C  Bm5-/7  E7   F
And gave out  the news
D7    Dm7  G7  G#7  G7       Gdim          C   Bb7 G#7 C
That the southland      gave birth to the blues
