Blues In The Night

• Bb

       Bb 
My mama done tol' me, when I was in knee-pants 
                                         Bb7    Eb7 
My mama done tol' me, " Son a woman'll sweet talk" 
                                         C7           F7        F7/13-       Bb 
And give ya the big eye, but when the sweet talkin's done 
    F7                                  
A woman's a two-face 
C7                                  F7                           Bb 
 A worrisome thing who'll leave ya to sing the blues in the night 
Bb7                                F7/13-    Bbm7    Eb7  
Now the rain's a-fallin', hear the train's a-callin 
    Bb 
"Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) 
Eb7/9+                                 Em6      F7                        
Hear dat lonesome whistle blowin' 'cross the trestle  
    Bb 
"Whooee!" (My mama done tol' me) 
      F7                                C7                       F7         
A-whooee-ah-whooee ol' clickety clack's a echoin'  
            Bb 
Back th' blues in the night 
                     Eb7/9+               Ebm6 
The evenin' breeze'll start the trees to cryin' 
F7          Db7                  C7/9+ C7  
And the moon'll hide its light          
G7/9+       G5-/7   Bbm6 C7              F7 Abm6 F7 
When you get the blues  in the night 
Eb7/9+                    Ebm6               F7   
Take my word, the mockingbird'll sing  
       Db7                  C7/9+ 
The saddest kind o' song, 
G7/9+                      Bbm6   C7               F7  Em6  Abm6  F7 Bb7 C7 F7 
He knows things are wrong, and he's right 
          Bb                                                                    
From Natchez to Mobile, from Memphis to St. Joe 
                                          Bb7 
Wherever the four winds blow  
    Eb7                                                                           
I been in some big towns an' heard me some big talk 
          C7       F7          F7/9+    Bb 
But there is one thing I know 
    F7                                C7                                 F7             
A woman's a two face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya  
                Bb                       Bb7 C7/9- 
To sing the blues in the night 
F7  C7                               F4/7                Bb 
My mama was right, there's blues in the night 
    F7                            C7                                 F7             
A man is a two face, a worrisome thing who'll leave ya 
                Bb                       Bb7 C7/9- 
To sing the blues in the night 
F7  C7                               F4/7                Bb 
My mama was right, there's blues in the night
