Verse 1
Think about (D major) heavy old guys,
really get heavy into that blues
thing.
You know, that's ba (G major) sically just
about everything in my (F major) life,
is (D major) that churchy blues.
(E major) To me, Ray Charles (D major) is still
the master
and the genius (A major) of everything
(D major) he touches. (B minor)
(E major) You know, that (A major) song, Drowning on Tears,
(D major) is one of my mother's
favorite songs. (B flat major)
(E major) I remember when she used to play
that every time my (D major) father would be
late.
No, she used to (G major) play it on a record.
We had a big 78,
and she would play it.
Every time my father would be late
coming (B flat major) home from work on Friday night, you know,
he'd (E major) probably stop off at about five or six bars on the way home,
and she would get on that record, you know,
and she'd be looking out the (D major) window waiting for him,
you know, (E major) drowning in her tears.
That's what I like about it.
Play it (A major) again.
(D major) Let's, let's, uh... (E major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) A lot of women cried about this (A major) song,
a lot of men too. (D major) (G major) Makes you (D major) stop and
think a little bit. (G major) Yeah. (D major) (G major)
I look back over my life
and I think about all the mistakes
(D major) that I made in love. (E major)
(F major) And how I learned
what different (D major) strokes
for different folk (G major) s was.
(D major) How good a stroke could be
and how bad a stroke could be.
(F sharp major) And how (D major) much fun it could be
to be able to (E major) sock it to somebody
and have somebody sock it back to you.
(D major) But then to (E major) turn around
and hear a song like this,
it (D major) makes you stop and (E major) won
der
how much wrong have you done
and how much right have you done
to deserve (D major) the wrong
that you're getting. (G major) (D major)
It brings a tear in (G major) to (E major) (D major) my eyes
When (G major) (D major) I be (G major) gin to realize
(E major) (D major) (G major) (G major) How I cried (D major) so
much since (F sharp major) (D major) you (B minor) have gone
(D major) I (G major) guess (E major) I just drowned, (D major)
(E major) drowned in my (A major) own tears (E major) (F minor)
Oh, (D major) I (E major) sit (D major) and cry,
(A major) Lord, just (D major) like a child
Don't (G major) (D major) you blow my poor winters, (G major) yeah
To me, they're (D major) runnin' wild
But (G major) (B flat major) if (D major) you don't see
(F sharp major) That you'll be (D major) home soon
Sometime tomor (G major) row
I guess I (D major) was just drunk, oh yeah, (G major)
in my own (D major) tears. (G major) (D major)
Now look at here, I know (G major) it's true. (C major) (G major)
I tell you end of each life right
now. (G major) (D major) (G major)
Oh, some rain, (D major) rain (G major) (E major) (G major) (D major) must fall,
(G major) but (D major) people like (G major) you so blue.
(D major) You know (G major) what I'm talking about, Steve.
Girl, when I (D major) think about you,
(E major) it (D major) just (B minor) (B flat major) keeps on rainin', (E major) (G major)
oh,
(E major) (G major) baby, (F major) rainin', (E major) rainin', rainin',
more (A major) and more and more (E major) an d more
and more more and more. (G major)
(A major) Why (D major) can't you? (A major) Lord,
make up your (D major) mind
and come back home
(G major) Can (D major) 't you see I'm so tired (G major) of being heartbroken,
worried, an (E major) d all (B minor) alone,
(D major) if you just say you'll (F sharp minor)
(D major) be home soon, (G major)
(D major) sometime (G major) by tomorrow.
I (D major) guess I'll just have to join
(G major) in my (D major) own tears, yeah. (D major)
