3        4     6     -5
 There are sad things
     -3     4      -5       5      -5     4
 There are bad things, the blues
     3       4        6 -5
 When they threaten
    4       4      -5  5      -6      5
 Just start betting, you'll lose
 
    5     6        -5   7      -7 -6   5      5 
 You hide yourself, behind a prayer
  -5      -5      6      -7        -6     6        6       4     4
 The blues will come, and they'll find you there
 -4   5     -4     -5       6        5      7      7 -7      7
 I mean the blues they call, Pete Kelly's Blues
 
    5     6 -5         7     -7     -6      5    5
 That happy dream is yours they say
-5   6    -5    -6     5      6
If you can pay, the dues
    6        6     7       -6     4
That's why I'm stuck with
   6       -5 4      6     -5     6       4
Fresh outta luck with, the blues
