**************** MY BABY SINGS THE BLUES ***************

written by Max D. Barnes and Patsy Barnes

performed by Vern Gosdin.


Capo on the 4th fret.

Verse 1:
          A
	She could dance and she could sing

	She left Texas with her dreams
                                                 E
	She swore that she could make it on her own


Verse 2:
          E
	She was young and she was fine

	She had looks and she had time
                                            A
	And the feelings of a woman fully grown


Verse 3:
          A
	She hit Nashville like a storm

	As soft as she was warm
                                         D
	Knowin' she'd be discovered any day


Verse 4:
         D
	But the things she did the best
                 A
	Was her overnight success
                  E                             A
	And the singing just got lost along the way


Chorus:
           D                           A
	Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
           E                        A
	Singing from bottom of her heart
           D                           A
	Baby sings the blues down on Broadway
               E                                  A
	Then cries herself to sleep there in the dark


Verse 5:
          A
	From a blessing to a curse

	Things just went from bad to worse
                                                E
	Life at night worked out the way she planned


Verse 6:
          E
	And although her dreams were gone

	She just couldn't go back home
                                                A
	To a town she knew that would not understand


Chorus(x2).
