George Jones - Born with the blues

^CDad was my hero God called him a^Fway Momma was ^Clonely and I was a^G7fraid With no one to ^Clean on I turned to the b^Fooze Hard times come ^Cearly w^G7hen you're born with the b^Clues

Railroads were leaving and airplanes were i^Fn The great war was ^Cbrewing about to b^G7egin Hungry and ^Clonesome nothing to l^Fose Raised in a ^Cboxcar a^G7nd born with the b^Clues

Born with the blues trouble in m^Find Smoking and ^Cdrinking by the time I was n^G7ine In debt from the ^Cstart I'm still paying my d^Fues Crazy and ^Clonely a^G7nd born with the b^Clues

In spite of the cocaine and in spite of it a^Fll God gave me a ^Cwoman to cushion the f^G7all You're like Paul of the ^Cbible spreading good n^Fews A man on a ^Cjourney a^G7nd born with the b^Clues
