Muddy Waters - No escape from the blues

Well someone ^E7made a mistake ^A7When they said life was a bowl of fruit^E7 You know I had to ^A7go downtown And pawn my last suit^E7 You know I ^B7can see I was born to lose ^A7For me there isn't no escape from the blue^E7s

^B7You know I haven't ^E7seen or heard from my woman ^A7Since the last day I got paid^A7 She said son ^A7if you haven't got no money I'm not going to hang around and be your maid^E7 You know I ^B7can see I was born to lose ^A7For me there isn't no escape from the blue^E7s ^B7

Well I ^E7broke down hungry ^A7I got to go out to the well yard^E7 I got to get ^A7myself a food stamp So I can buy myself a cup of coffee^E7 You know I ^B7can see I was born to lose ^A7For me there isn't no escape from the blue^E7s ^B7

You know I had ^E7worn out my shoes ^A7And now I'm wearing out my socks^E7 Well I ain't got ^A7no rent to pay, no rent to pay They're changing my front door locks^E7 You know I ^B7can see I was born to lose ^A7For me there isn't no escape from the blue^E7s
