The Blues Is Just A Bad Dream

  G          G6    G7       G6
A tree grows in my back yard
   C    C6       C7   C6
It only grows at night
    G        G6          G7     G6
Its branches they're all twisted
    G                G6       G7
Its leaves are afraid of light

[Chorus]
     G6       C     C6        C7      C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream
C      C6     C7      C         G7
  They say it lives upside your head
D7(+9)                        C7
  But when it's lonely in the morning
                                        G         D7(+9)
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead

[Verse 2]
        G         G6      G7       G6
There's winds out on the ocean
        C            C6       C7    C6
They're blowin' just as they choose
    G                G6       G7         G6
But them winds ain't got no emotion, baby
     G         G6      G7
They don't know the blues

[Chorus]

     G6       C     C6        C7      C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream
C      C6     C7      C         G7
  They say it lives upside your head
D7(+9)                        C7
  But when it's lonely in the morning
                                        G       D7(+9)
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead

[Verse 3]
        G       G6      G7       G6
My mind's ramblin' and ramblin'
        C          C6       C7    C6
Just like some a-rolling stone, no
      G                G6           G7     G6
Since that nightmare come to stay with me, baby
     G            G6      G7
My thoughts just don't belong

[Chorus]

     G6       C     C6        C7      C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream
C      C6     C7      C         G7
  They say it lives upside your head
D7(+9)                        C7
  But when it's lonely in the morning
                                        G    Em9  A7   D9    G13
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead
