[Verse]
E
He came to me he was a young man
A G
And he said he had everything I would need
E
I believed him
E
He couldn't fight he couldn't even get a suntan
A G
But when that pretty boy played the blues
E
You know I believed him
D
I didn't know neither did this blues boy
A G
That it ain't far away from the first word you say
E
To the last one
E
And he didn't know he didn't get the news boy
A G
That it ain't far away from the first note you play
E
To the last one

E
He didn't drink much he didn't smoke in bed
A
He stayed home with his drums
G E
While the rest of us bums went to party
E
He wasn't perfect he was a better man than me
A
When he withered and he died
G
I tried and I tried
E
But I still can't see
