Blue Johns Blues

	  		
verse 1 
 
D          G            C                  G 
Mystery is following me down that lonesome road 
    D               G                D     G 
And I don't know my way, my way back home 
D             Em              C                G 
Someone on my shoulder and he will not share a load 
    D               G                D     G    D  G 
And I don't know my way, my way back home 


 
verse 2 
 
          D                 A 
There's a certain something deep inside 
       Em               G 
Like a rolling sea or a river wide 
D                        G 
And the orchestra starts playing 
         D   G 
Get down Joe 


 
verse 3 
 
        D                     A 
You can see his face, you can feel his smile 
         C                           G 
Put your head down low and let those tears run wild 
         D                g 
When the orchestra starts playing 
     D 
Blue John's Blues
