INTRO: One strum on the "B"
VERSE ONE
B
Lord I went to the doctor..he took one look
E B
He said the trouble with you ain't in my book
E B
I'll tell you what it is but it ain't good news
F#7 B
You've got an awful bad case of them low down blues
CHORUS
B E B
I've got the mean old miseries in my soul
E B
I went to the river but the waters too cold
E B
I've walked the floor 'till I've worn out my shoes
F#7 B
Lord they're killin' me ..I mean them low down blues
VERSE TWO
B
Lord I never knew a man... could feel this bad
E B
I never knew livin' could be so sad.
E B
All I do is set and cry
F#7 B
Lord I'd have to get better be-fore I could die
CHORUS
B E B
I've got the mean old miseries in my soul
E B
I went to the river but the waters too cold
E B
I've walked the floor 'till I've worn out my shoes
F#7 B
Lord they're killin' me ..I mean them low down blues
