{c: This misses the first few verses}
[G] They heard the breeze in the [D7] trees
Singing [G] weird melo-[C]dies
And they [D7] made that the start of the [G] blues
{c: }
And from a jail came the [D7] wail
Of a [G] down-hearted [C] frail
And they [D7] played that as part of the [G] blues
{c: }
[G] From a whippoor-[B7]will [Am] out on a [B7] hill
[Am] They took a [B7] new note
Pushed it through a [E7] horn till it was worn
Into a [A7] blue note
{c: }
[D7] And then they [G] nursed it, re-[D7]hearsed it
And [G] gave out the [C] news
That the [D7] Southland gave birth to the [G] blues!
{sos}
[G] They heard the breeze in the [D7] trees
Singing [G] weird melo-[C]dies
And they [D7] made that the start of the [G] blues
{eos}
And then they [G] nursed it, re-[D7]hearsed it
And [G] gave out the [C] news
That the [D7] Southland gave birth to the [G] blues!
