Verse 1
D 
G 
I missed the bus out of Houston again
Got caught up talking to an old friend
Had a million and one things to get
C 
Before I leave town
D 
I guess this just ain't been my day,
seems like I can't get away
It's going on four days of rain
G 
D 
and it's still coming down
G 
D 
I gave you the shirt off my back,
G 
the lawyer got what I had left
And it hit me this morning,
C 
G 
I've lost everything that I had
C 
D 
And on top of all that
C 
There's a neon light on the
G 
D 
G 
side of my room
D 
And it keeps  on shining
G 
as bright as the moon
C 
I ain't sleepin',
G 
D 
G 
I'm lyin' here thinkin' of you
D 
I got those leavin' Houston calls,
I'm losin' my sweet baby
G 
D 
G

G 
blues
D 
G 
I guess you think I'm trying to stall,
D 
G 
but maybe that ain't it at all
D 
G 
I'm just having a hell of a ball,
C 
packing my clothes
D 
And I'm hanging around for
my cleaning deposit
Should have had it by now,
G 
D 
but the landlord's still got it on hold
G 
He says if I  don't fix the hole in the wall,
D 
G 
that I  ain't gonna get it at all
He don't care how it got there,
C 
it ain't fair, wasn't my fault
D 
And if it don't beat off,
C 
let me hold the light on outside
G 
D 
G 
of my room
D 
Lord, it keeps  on shining
G 
as bright as the moon
C 
G 
I ain't sleepin', lyin' here thinkin' of you
D 
I got those leavin' Houston calls
G 
I'm losin' my sweet baby blues
