The rhythm for this song is awkward to get at first, but if you play 
along with the recording a few times, you'll find that it is really 
easy once you get into it. 
 
 
       C                              G            C 
Well I feel like an old hobo, I'm sad lonesome and blue, 
      F           C          G              C 
I was fair as the summer day now the summer days are through. 
    F            C          G      C 
You pass through places and places pass through you, 
        F         C               G             C         F 
But you carry 'em with you on the soles of your travellin'  
  C  G  C  F  C  G  C  F  C  G 
Shoes. 
 
 
       C           F        C           G 
Well I love you so dearly I love you so clearly 
  C        F         C          G 
I wake you up in the mornin' so early,  
        C          F       C         G 
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues. 
C    F       C         G 
   I got the wanderin' blues, 
    C         F          C        G           C     F    C    G  C  F  C   
And I'm gonna quit these ramblin' ways one of these days soon, 
    G    C 
And I'll sing : 
 
 
    F        C              G         C 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs. 
    F        C              G         C 
The littlest birds sing the prettiest songs. 
    F        C              G         C

          C          F       C       G         C 
Well it's times like these I feel so small and wild  
         F        C              G         C 
Like the ramblin' footsteps of a wanderin' child. 
F       C             G        C 
And i'm lonesome as a lonesome whippoorwill, 
F            C            G            C 
Singin these blues with a warble and a trill. 
F       C       G       C 
But i'm not too blue to fly, 
F      C       G       C 
No i'm not too blue to fly 'cause

I wake you up in the mornin' so early  
        C          F       C         G 
Just to tell you I got the wanderin' blues.

     C       F         C           G 
Oh I left my baby on a pretty blue train, 
      C       F            C            G 
And I sang my songs to the cold and the rain. 
C       F       C         G 
  But I had the wanderin' blues, 
C       F          C         G 
  And I sang those wanderin' blues. 
    C         F          C        G           C     F    C    G  C  F  C

I don't care if I'm nervous with you, 
F          C             G     C  
I'll do my lovin' in the wintertime.
