Lowell Fulson

(B. B. King)

E7

Everyday, everyday I have the blues.

          A7                       E7

Ooh, everyday, everyday I have the blues.

         B7                                A7            E7

When you see me worryin', baby; yeah, it's you I hate to lose.

 

Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care.

Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care.

Well, worries and trouble, darling; babe, you know I've had my share.

 

Everyday, everyday, everyday, everyday,

Everyday, everyday I have the blues.

When you see me worryin', baby; yeah, it's you I hate to lose.

 

Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care.

Whoa, nobody loves me, nobody seems to care.

Well, worries and trouble, darling; babe, you know I've had my share.
