       E5                                                        B5 
I woke up this mornin to an empty house and empty's just what I mean 
   B5                                                                          E5 
My baby must've left in the middle of the night, she really stripped the place clean 
       E5                                                                    A5 
Well I don't know how I slept through it all, it must've been one hell of a snooze 
    E5              B5              E5 
The only thing she left me was the blues 
            E5                                                                      B5 
She took my favorite chair, she left the cupboards bear, she even took our old dog Gus7 
    B5                                                      E5 
The only thing that lingered in the air was a sad memory of us 
            E5                                                       A5  
She took my VCR, She even took my guitar when she walked on out the door 
             E5                                       B5                     E5 
She took the kitchen table but she still was able to leave the bills on the floor 
  
Bridge: 
                A5                          E5    
She must've had strong arms to tote it all out 
                A5                      F#5                      B5 
She must've had soft footsteps cause I didn't wake up and find out 
            E5                                                            A5    
She took my baseball bat, she took my cowboy hat, my boots and all of my shoes 
    E5              B5              E5 
The only thing she left me was the blues 
 
  
Now I'm lyin here naked on my living room floor cause she run off with all of my clothes 
I'd like to listen to a record on my old turntable she run off with all of those 
The sound of silence as I sit here alone, Lets me know it's gonna be a long day 
And what a stroke of bad luck she took my pick-up truck to haul it all away 
Now I wish I knew just where she went but she didn't leave a number to call 
I wish I knew what time it was, she took the clock off of the wall 
But one thing's clear as I'm sittin here, searchin for all of the clues 
The only thing she left me was the blues 
  
Bridge 
  
 
I'd like to call someone but she took the phone now ain't nobody heard the news 
The only thing she left me was the blues
