verse:
D
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
G
I swear I'm goin' crazy
Sittin' here all alone
A
Since your gone
G D
I got a mess of blues
G
Whoops there goes a teardrop
D
Rollin' down my face
G
If you cry when you're in love
A
It sure ain't no disgrace
verse:
I ain't slept a week since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since your gone
I got a mess of blues
chorus:
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace
verse:
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since your gone
I got a mess of blues

Pictures of Matchstick Men
This is one of the coolest songs ever written. If anybody else knows how
to play any of ther rest of it, please tab it and upload it to OLGA. I
especially want to know how to play the wah part during the verses. All this tab
is is the intro. I was screwing around, trying to to come up with what they
play during the verse, and I know there's a D chord and I think a G chord in
there, if that helps anybody. They play this in other parts of the song, too
though. Where it says "Wah", use the wah pedal to get a more trebly sound.
