[Intro]
G D A D (x4)
[Verse 1]
G D A D
I know a man who sings the blues
G D A D
Yeah he plays just what he feels
G D A D
Keeps a letter in the pocket of his coat
G D A D
But he never breaks the seal
[Interlude]
G D A D (x2)
[Verse 2]
G D A D
Set up in a bar room corner
G D A D
Playing for tips and beer
G D A D
People carrying on and drinking
G D A D
And you gotta strain to hear
[Interlude]
G D A G (x2)
[Verse 3]
G D A D
I've seen him playing some old cheap guitar
G D A D
But he could play on pots and pans
G D A D
You never heard a soul so pure and true
G D A D
It's flowing right out of his hands
G D A D
And he can sing sweet as a choir girl
G D A D
Or he can sing a house on fire
G D A D
I've seen him calling up the angels
G D A D
And use a breeze for a telephone wire
[Chorus]
G
But if you ask him
F#7 Bm
How he sings his blues so well
A
He says
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
And I don't read postcards from hell
[Interlude]
G D A D (x4)
[Verse 4]
G D A D
Said he came from down in Texas
G D A D
Playin' out since he's fifteen
G D A D
You can hear a little Chicago
G D A D
And a lot of New Orleans
G D A D
And he can take you on a freight train
G D A D
He can take you down the alley
G D A D
He can take you to the church
G D A D
He can walk you through the valley
[Chorus]
G
And if you ask him
F#7 Bm
How he sings his blues so well
A
He says
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
And I don't read postcards from hell
[Interlude]
G D A D (x8)
[Verse 5]
G D A D
I've seen him sleeping in a doorway
G D A D
Maybe living outside
G D A D
On his back just like a cockroach
G D A D
But he ain't waiting to die
[Chorus]
G
And if you ask him
F#7 Bm
How he sings his blues so well
A
He says
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
I got a soul that I won't sell
G D A D
That's how I sing my blues so well
G D A D
And I don't read postcards from hell
