Lyrics
[verse]
Got my guitar and a battered old case
Walking down streets with a hollow face
The neighbors wave but they don't understand
Why I'm carrying this heavy hand
[chorus]
Singing the blues, strumming out the pain
Singing the blues, like a falling rain
Every chord I play tells the same old tale
Of a love that left and a heart gone pale
[verse]
I used to laugh at every corner bar
Now I just sit and watch the passing cars
The jukebox plays the songs we used to share
But you're not around and you don't care
[chorus]
Singing the blues, strumming out the pain
Singing the blues, like a falling rain
Every chord I play tells the same old tale
Of a love that left and a heart gone pale
[bridge]
Maybe I'll pack this old guitar away
Maybe I'll find some other tune to play
But tonight I'll let this sadness ring
Because it's all I've got left to sing
[chorus]
Singing the blues, strumming out the pain
Singing the blues, like a falling rain
Every chord I play tells the same old tale
Of a love that left and a heart gone pale
