Gm life can be mighty monotonous, Gm We're always battlin' boredom; Gm Where, tell me where has it gotten us? Cm Everything's still so doggone hum-drum! Gm Eb Dm Stuck in a rut, gettin' nowhere fast! Gm Bb Eb D Mmmm-mmm, I got the hum-drum blues! Gm C D Fightin' the future and mad at the past! Gm Bb Eb Mmmm-mmm, I got the hum-drum blues! D Ooh honey, C When you ain't got money, C Then you just can't do as you choose; D Gm Eb Just gotta live with the hum-drum blues! F Gm Eb Gm Don't know which way I'm goin', Gm I don't know which way I come from? Gm Rainin', a shine or a-snowin', Gm Everything's so doggone hum-drum! F Gm, Love me honey, I wish you would! Bb D Uh-huh, I got the hum-drum blues! Gm Eb D Sure would do me a world o' good, Bb Eb 'Cause I've got the blues! Gm Oooh baby, C If you love me, maybe Cm we could get together and lose D Gm Eb Cm Gm F D These mean old, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, a-humdrum blues!
