Young Blood Blues

C
Stay out on the levee
                         Am
Watching the leaves roll by (?)
C
My heart was feeling heavy
                        Am
Did not know the reason why.
F             C
I was crying for you
F            C
Wherever you may be
F            C
I was crying for you
         F            C
Because you once were me

[Verse 2]

C
My best friend in this whole world
                         Am
Is a man who’s dead and gone.
C
Now I’m bound to wander
                     Am
With nothing but his song.
F                     C
And he walked out of this world
F                C
As lonely as he came
F                C              F             C
You can rest assured you won’t see my man again.

[Chorus]

C             F      G    Am
I’ve got the young blood blues
           F        C
They’re following me
               F      G    Am
I’ve got the young blood blues
          F            C
They just won’t let me be.

[Verse 3]

C
I'm going back to New York
                    Am
I won't be back to stay
C
If you see my old friends
                               Am
Won't you tell them I'm still away
F                       C
Got heart ache like a river
F                    C
And it runs a muddy mile
F               C
You could rest assured
F                                  C
You won't see me for a long, long while

[Chorus]

C             F      G    Am
I’ve got the young blood blues
           F        C
They’re following me
              F      G    Am
I’ve got the young blood blues
          F            C
They just won’t let me be.
              F      G    Am
I’ve got the young blood blues
           F        C
They’re following me
              F      G    Am
I’ve got the young blood blues
          F            C
They just won’t let me be.
