Great Song From The Album High Lonesome! Enjoy!
Into: A D7 A E A
A
yes i hid your car keys, honey
D A
yes i hid your suitcase
and i'm the reason you can't find
E
your makeup and your toothpaste
A
and i'll do anything it takes
D A
to keep you here with me
B
but losing you's a sure way
E
to set off my allergies
Chorus:
A
I'm allergic to the blues
D A
i get these teardrops in my eyes
you know i've always had a bad
E
reaction to goodbyes
A
So 'till they find some injection
D A
to calm that love rejection
B D
all i've got to save me now is you
E A
'cause I'm allergic to the blues
instrumental: repeat intro
it wont be five minutes
D A
after you walk out that front door
'till i'll be fightin' for my breath and
E
feelin' like i'm done for
A
well they might find me froze to death
D A
in our bed alone
B
now do you really want that
E
on your conscience while your gone
Chorus:
A
I'm allergic to the blues
D A
i get these teardrops in my eyes
you know i've always had a bad
E
reaction to goodbyes
A
So 'till they find some injection
D A
to calm that love rejection
B D
all i've got to save me now is you
E A D
I'm allergic to the blues

I'm allergic to the blues
