The Birth Of The Blues

• D7

Introdução: D7 G7 Dm7 G7 C Fdim C 

A7  G#7  G7    C   C/B      Dm7     G7 
They heard the breeze  in the trees 
 G7M    C   E7  F          
Singing weird melodies 
     D7     G7            C    G#7  G7 
And they made that the start of the blues 
A7  G#7 G7    C  Am       Dm7 
And  from a jail  came the wail 
G7   C   E7     F 
Of a down-hearted frail 
     D7       G7     Dm7    G7     C    Fdim C 
And they played that  as part of the blues 
C    C/B   E7   Dm6      E7 
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill 
Dm6      Bm5-/7  E7   Bm5-/7 
They took a new note 
 E7            A7  A4/7         A7 
Pushed it through a horn  til it was born 
 Am7    D7      G7 
Into a new note 
A7   G#7   G7   C     Am     Dm7     G7 
And  then they nursed it, rehearsed it 
G  C  Bm5-/7  E7   F       
And gave out the news 
      D7  Dm7   G7              C    Am   G#7 G7 
That the southland  gave birth to the blues 
C    C/B   E7   Dm6      E7 
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill 
Dm6      Bm5-/7  E7   Bm5-/7 
They took a new note 
 E7            A7  A4/7         A7 
Pushed it through a horn  til it was born 
 Am7    D7      G7 
Into a new note 
A7   G#7   G7   C     Am     Dm7     G7 
And  then they nursed it, rehearsed it 
G  C  Bm5-/7  E7   F       
And gave out the news 
D7    Dm7  G7  G#7 G7     Gdim         C   Bb7 G#7 C 
That the southland gave birth to the blues
