it's not 100% accurate i'm aware of that,
but it nails the main spirit of the song.

this is my first tablature,
and first try on learning a song without tabs or tut.
it was easy though thanks to the electrifying performance of the great Johnny Copland.



it's a blues in E

keep in mind, all the muting stuff it's a matter of feel.
you can just stay with the chord if you like,
or not hitting at all on those parts.
but the rhythm just makes you keep strumming.




 Lyrics:


here i sit  in this room, me and my guitar and the blues
seem like yesterday, everything was goin my way
no one could have told me
i'll be sittin here singing  the blues today

i was flying high,            ***            ***
woke up one morning, i couldn't fly no more
but it seems like yesterday everything was goin my way
no one could have told me
i'll be sittin here singing  the blues today 

i was flying high,            ***            ***
woke up one morning, i couldn't fly no more
but it seems like yesterday everything was goin my way
no one could have told me
i'll be sittin here singing  the blues today 


somebody tell me what a man to do
when the world as took from him
everything but the blues
seem like yesterday everything was goin my way
no one could have told me
i'll be sittin here singing  the blues today


now i'm moving from state to state
every time i eat i can break my plate
but it seems like yesterday everything was goin my way-ay
no one could have told me
aaaaaai'll  be sittin here singing  the bluuuuuuueees today.




Enjoy !
