{st: performed by The Delmore Brothers, 1949}

[D] Oh, blues, [A7] stay away from [D] me [D7]
[G] Blues, why don't you let me [D] be
Don't know [G] why [A7]
You keep on haunting [D] me. [A7] [D]

Love [A7] was never meant for [D] me [D7]
True [G] love was never meant for [D] me
Seems some- [G] how [A7]
We never can [D] agree.

Life [A7] is full of miser- [D] y [D7]
[G] Tears - so many I can't [D] see
[G] Years don't mean a thing to [D] me
Time goes [A7] by, and still I can't be [D] free.
