WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, I LOVED THE BLUES
SO WHEN I GROW UP, I WANNA SING THEM TUNES
WHEN I GOT OLDER, I TOLD MY PLAN
THE SAID, CAN SING NO BLUES,CAUSE YOU AIN A MAN!
WHAT THAT GOT TO DO WITH IT? I AM NO MAN
BUT I CAN SING THE BLUES AS GOOD AS YOU CAN
[Refrão]
E G F# F E
BECAUSE I A CHAIN SMOKIN, HARD DRINKIN WOMAN
BY THE TIME I TURNED 22, I WAS BAD NEWS
I WAS SINGING IN BARS, I WAS SINGIN THE BLUES
BROKE A COUPLE HEARTS WHEN I TORE THEM LOOSE
WHEN THEY ASKED ME WHY, YOU WERE MY EXCUSE
[Refrão]

BECAUSE I A CHAIN SMOKIN, HARD DRINKIN WOMAN
YES, I A CHAIN SMOKIN, HARD DRINKIN WOMAN
SPOKEN: ON FELLAS TELL WHY THE WAY I AM!
LEAD
THE BLUES ARE MY JOB, THEN I DRUNK AT WORK
CAUSE YOU GOTTA BE TOUGH AS NAILS, CAUSE BLUES CAN HURT
IT NOT THE MISERY. IT NOT THE PAIN
IF IT FEELS GOOD, I GOING TO DO THAT THANG
[Refrão]
E G F# F E
BECAUSE I A CHAIN SMOKIN, HARD DRINKIN WOMAN
