**************** MY BABY SINGS THE BLUES ***************

written by Max D. Barnes and Patsy Barnes

performed by Vern Gosdin.

Capo on the 4th fret.

Verse 1:
AA Piano Chord 

She could dance and she could sing

She left Texas with her dreams
EE Piano Chord 

She swore that she could make it on her own

Verse 2:
EE Piano Chord 

She was young and she was fine

She had looks and she had time
AA Piano Chord 

And the feelings of a woman fully grown

Verse 3:
AA Piano Chord 

She hit Nashville like a storm

As soft as she was warm
DD Piano Chord 

Knowin' she'd be discovered any day

Verse 4:
DD Piano Chord 

But the things she did the best
AA Piano Chord 

Was her overnight success
EE Piano Chord 
                             AA Piano Chord 

And the singing just got lost along the way

Chorus:
DD Piano Chord 
                           AA Piano Chord 

Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
EE Piano Chord 
                        AA Piano Chord 

Singing from bottom of her heart
DD Piano Chord 
                           AA Piano Chord 

Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
EE Piano Chord 
                                  AA Piano Chord 

Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark

Verse 5:
AA Piano Chord 


Things just went from bad to worse
EE Piano Chord 

Life at night worked out the way she planned

Verse 6:
EE Piano Chord 

And although her dreams were gone

She just couldn't go back home
AA Piano Chord 

To a town she knew that would not understand

Chorus(x2).
