Verse 1
(D major) All my life I had to struggle
paid some heavy dues
Squeakin' out a livin'
playin' these here blues
Then one (G major) day my (D major) music
made me a (G major) million (D major) aire
I bought a big ole mansion
with central heat and air
(G major) Now I got more money
than I know how to use
Got everything (D major) a man could want
but I ain't got the blues
Success for (A minor) me can only lead
to my impending doom
(D major) Cause you can't play the blues in an
(G major) air conditioned room (D major) y'all (C major) (D major)
(C major) (D major)

Verse 2
(G major) Now (D major) I was doin' better
with a smaller piece of pie
With all my fame and fortune
I came down in the fire
I lost the inspiration that came
natural at the start
(G major) I'll (D major) have to hire a mean ole
Verse 3
woman just to break my heart
(G major) Now my life's too easy
I think I'm gettin' soft
I (D major) used to play the blues all day
but now I just play golf
Now (A minor) all my fame has (D major) rearranged my
(A minor) life and changed my tune
Cause you (D major) can't play the blues in an (G major) air
conditioned room (D major)

Verse 4
Now (D major) you might think I'm crazy and
you might think I'm strange
But first thing in the mornin'
I'm gonna make a change
(G major) I'll throw (D major) away my money
I'll move back to the shack
I'll do what ever I gotta do
to get the feelin' back
I (G major) know I'll be feelin' better
with nothin' left to lose
Cause when (D major) times were bad the less
I had the better I played the blues
I'll (A major) buy myself some tollgate (A minor) wine
and howl up at the moon
Cause you (D major) can't play the blues
in an (G major) air conditioned (D major) room
If (A minor) I should die tomorrow
you can write it on my tomb
Say he (D major) couldn't play the blues in an
air con (G major) ditioned room y'all (D major) (G major)
(D major) Whoa whoa oh y'all
Outro 1
