   C                     G7           C
I guess there's not much I can do or say
        C         G7            C C7
Saw my baby with another guy today
          F                                C
Though I love her and I tried to tell her so
      C               G7              C
It's hello blues and down the road I go

I've never seen that guy before today
He held my baby in the closest way
And the way she snuggled close to him I know
It's hello blues and down the road I go

Chorus:
         Am
Well it seems our thoughts were much
           C
alike our likes were much the same
   Am                            C             G
We even had our future plan till into town he came

I've never seen that guy before today
He held my baby in the closest way
And the way she snuggled close to him I know
It's hello blues and down the road I go

Chorus

I've never seen that guy before today
He held my baby in the closest way
And the way she snuggled close to him I know
It's hello blues and down the road I go

It's hello blues and down the road I go
