Key: D minor
Verse 1
and reality begin?
Between rock and roll
or the hard lessons of the blues?
People tried to warn him,
D
Am
don't go across those tracks
Now he's toying with passion
D
Am
D
Once he got those blues
D
Am
Breakin' all the rules
He's a boy who stole the blues
Am
D
It's in vain to punish him
F
E
Am
That bitch got it, she don't play
She don't play
The blues people,
D
G
Am
you know, they share their ma gic in
D
Am
But it never did return,
D
G
Am
that's why they got so mixed
He went up to the mountain of Memphis
D
G
Am
And recorded all the label corp's sons
D
G
Am
You know he came undone
Listen people
He's the boy who stole the blues,
F
E
Am
that bitch got it, she don't play
She don't play
Talkin' about the boy who
stole the blues
Everybody wanna know how to do
Talkin' about the boy who
stole the blues
Everybody know you got to
pay your dues
Some say Jim Crow
D
G
Am
Made him the king of rock and roll
And if there had to be a king
D
G
It would have been a black boy,
Am
that's for sure
Well, this I know for certain
D
G
Am
The black Bible is the blues
He's the one who stole the blues
C
Am
Yes, he went across the tracks
C
D
And when he broke the code
F
E
He came back sounding black
F
Dm
E
Am
That bitch got a sheet on way
She don't play, hey
Talkin' about the boy
who stole the blues
Talkin' about the boy who stole
the fire from you
Talkin' about the boy who
sought the truth
Talkin' about the boy
who stole the blues
Just like Jackie folks a color
line to friend
America to love the blues
Talkin' about the boy who
stole the blues
Everybody knows you got to
pay your dues
Talkin' about the boy
who stole the blues
Blues don't play
No, blues don't play
Thank for watching.
