A few words were tricky to hear.
Any correction of the lyrics will be welcome :)
[Intro]
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
x2
[Verse 1]
Cmaj9 Gmaj9
Three preppies and a veteran of war
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
Swapping stories from across the bar
Cmaj7 Gmaj7 Bbmaj7 Fmaj9
Drownin' out my down and out little slow tune
Cmaj7#11 Gmaj7
Play something peppy the nearest one said
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
And I said, coming up and I bowed my head
Cmaj7 Gmaj9 Bbmaj7 Fmaj9
Looked at my list of latest hits and I played one or two
[Pre-Chorus]
C5 G/B
Well now I got to know if made too much noise
Bb5 F/A
Through the squealy PA with my untrained voice
Ab5 Eb/G
What's up, we'll try to get to
Am C/D
Right after the break, giggin'
[Chorus]
G6 Gsus2 F/G C6 Csus2
Until the dues, everybody plays the blues
Ebmaj7/F
No way escapes
Em11 Dsus4/B
Walkin that lonely mile
F6add9 C6add9 Dsus4
Trying to get spotted before you go out of style
G Fmaj7/G Cmaj7
The dues, up down straight into the blues
Ebmaj7/F Em N.C.
Oh I can't wait to take a little break
A7sus4 A7
Right after this tune
Am G/B C/F Dsus4
Rest my soul from dishin' out on the dues
[Instrumental]
G6add9 Dsus4/B F6add9 C6add9 Dsus4
x2
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Gmaj9
Pretty eyes just like a persian cat
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
A velvet-toned voice says take off your hat
Cmaj7 Gmaj7
And I have to take a seat, sit for a spell
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
And get round to you about 11 or 12
Cmaj7 Gmaj9
I've got my best three songs on a Sony cassette
Bbmaj7 Fmaj9
And me and my mom and my friends all bet
Cmaj7 Gmaj9
I'm gonna be hits, some big star
Bbmaj7 Fmaj7
And won't that be swell?
[Pre-Chorus]
C5 G/B
But I really don't have much room for hope
Bb5 F/A
Cos you probably say that way's too fast or too slow
Ab5 Eb/G
The cycle starts all over again
Am C/D
It's really not to do with them, right
[Chorus]
G6 Gsus2
Just payin' dues
F/G C6 Csus2
Everybody plays the blues
Ebmaj7/F
Ain't no way to escape
Em11 Dsus4/B
Walkin' that lonely mile
F6add9 C6add9 Dsus4
Tryin' to hit the top before you go out of style
G Fmaj7/G Cmaj7
The dues, up down straight into blues
Ebmaj7/F Em N.C.
Oh I can't wait to take a little break
A7sus4 A7
Right after this tune
Am G/B C/F Dsus4
Rest my soul from dishin' out on the blues
[Solo]
G6add9 Dsus4/B F6add9 C6add9 Dsus4
x2
Em11 Dsus4/B F6add9 C6add9 Dsus4
x2
[Bridge]
Dm7 C/D Bm7 Em7
I'm bound to show I'm all worked for some day
Dm7 C/D Am G/B
Got me up in lights, big house on May
Cadd9 Dsus4
Then I won't have to pay
[Chorus]
G Fmaj7/G Cmaj7
No more dues, often times takin' the blues
Ebmaj7/F Em N.C.
Oh I can't wait to take a little break
A7sus4 A7
Right after this tune
Am G/B C/F Dsus4 F/G
Rest my soul from dishin' out on the dues
