Livin' The Blues

Intro:

Well, you can talk about the blues – talk about the weather – talk about what’s left there deep inside of you
But if you wanna carry on – you gotta be livin’ the blues

And when there’s murder in your heart – pistol in your pocket – Even when you think you’ve got no tale to tell
Life is not a wishing well – you gotta be livin’ the blues!

No one knows the ways of good luck – no one knows where darkness ends – Everyone’s just tryin’ to ignore where we’re all headin’

What you get is loads of bad luck – what you get are memories – up and downs and turnarounds – relentlessly you take the blows and …

Nothin’ gets you down – nothin’ makes you crumble –
Nothin’ makes you wanna hang your head and cry –
Cause if you wanna carry on – you gotta be livin’ the blues!

SOLO:

Well you can talk about the blues – talk about the weather – talk about what’s left there deep inside of you
But if you wanna carry on – you gotta be livin’ the blues!
And when there’s murder in your heart – pistol in your pocket – even when you think you’ve got no tale to tell –
Life is not a wishing well: you gotta be livin’ the blues!

GUITAR:

… you gotta be livin’ the blues!
