Dmaj7 For the last time Bm I watched Old Man Took bait his hook F#m And then throw his line Em7 Pick up his wine F#m He's a friend of mine Bm Known him all my life and his wife F#m 'Neath the swayin' pine Em7 And the clingin' vine F#m Just before he left Chorus: Bm He said now young man Em7 Bm Take good care don't let the bugs bite Em7 Bm Please make sure to say a word at night Em7 For all your brothers feeling F#m Bm Blue, blue, blue F#m Em7 Blue all the time So I stayed awhile Took my tea alone, called it home Like a playing child Running wild Heard a bluejay call Said we got you now Hope you bow To the old man's word I'm sure you heard Just before he left Chorus Now young man Take good care don't let the bugs bite Please make sure to say a word at night For all your brothers feeling blue Bm Em7 Feeling blue Feeling blue Feeling blue Feeling blue Feeling blue Feeling blue Feeling blue Feeling blue You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsBm  Dmaj7  Em7  F#m  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
