     /      |G     / /       /        |/     / /
I've got the blues - - those Nashville blues,
     /      |C     / /       /        |G     / /
I've got the blues - - those Nashville blues,
      /     |D   / /       /     |G      / / / | 
Ain't got no hat - - ain't got no shoes.

1.

The people here they treat me fine,
The people here they treat me fine,
They give me beer, they give me wine.

2.

I've got the blues, I've got 'em bad,
I've got the blues, I've got 'em bad,
Somebody stole that girl I had.

3.

She's gone, she's gone away from me,
She's gone, she's gone away from me,
One thing she left she left me free.

4.

I wish I was a turtle dove,
I wish I was a turtle dove,
I'd fly away to the girl I love.

5.

It's hard to tell what a girl will do,
It's hard to tell what a girl will do,
They'll win your love and leave you blue.

6.

I'm going home to Arkansas,
I'm going home to Arkansas,
Gonna stay right there with ma and pa.

7.

If you find me sad please go away,
If you find me sad please go away,
Come back again some other day.
