Big Blue Note

C     Am      F        G 
See that big blue note, over there on the counter 
C              Am               F   
You don't wanna read that thing, man, 
     G 
it's a real get-you-downer 
C            Am           F      G 
But don't you dare say nothin' else, bad about her 
C       Am F G 
She's gone 
 
No, no, no, no, don't, don't throw it away, 
'Cause tonight, I might need it 
It gets real lonely around here at night some times, 
and I have to reread it 
Besides, you can show it to the boys down town 
They won't believe that 
She's gone 
 
Chorus: 
             F       Em 
There used to be a time I was all she ever wanted 
F           G       C 
All the man that she'll ever need 
          F         Em 
I come home to find just like that she's up and vanished 
     F                    G 
And the only thing she left behind for me
