E7 Am E7 Some days I have to give right in to the blues Am E7 Despite how I try Am E7 To keep fightin', it's a sure shot I'm going to lose Am C#m7 And I'll tell you why C#m7 D6 You think I'm crazy D6 C#m7 It's such a sad composition C#m7 But can you blame me C/D C7 B7 For what's been causing my bad disposition? B7 C7 B7 C7 B7 Ain't nothing new with my blue situation A#7 A7 And nothing's fine, it's just a mi nor variation When troubles want to find me I ain't hard to find They know where I am Like a hungry pack of wolves when it's feeding time They tear up a man And it's a strange thing 'Cause now it don't really matter More of the same thing Don't even hurt it's all a part of the pattern But still in all it's a small consolation I just define it as a minor variation Chorus: A7 A#7 Ain't no way to fight 'em darling A7 A#7 Ain't no way around 'em baby A7 A#7 Ain't no way to take 'em B7 Nowhere to hide and believe me I've tried to shake 'em I'm getting to the point where I don't feel the pain And I've had enough I'm ready for the next time it hits me again 'Cause I've gotten tough It doesn't faze me And now I've made my decision I may be crazy It's not as though I don't know that condition Until I'm through with this blue situation Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation Chorus: Ain't nobody's business, baby Ain't nobody's worry darlin' Ain't nobody's problem No way to win when you've already been forgotten C#m7 D6 And it's a strange thing D6 C#m7 'Cause now it don't really matter C#m7 More of the same thing C/D B7 Don't even hurt, it's a part of the pattern B7 C7 B7 C7/B7 Until I'm through with this blue situation B7 A#7 A7 E7 Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation A minor variation It ain't no major complication It's just a minor variation That's all it is That's all it is It ain't no major aggravation It's just a minor variation It ain't nothin', babe...
