E--0-2-4--| This small lick is usually played just before every line in the verse.  I've 
marked where the lick occurs in the song with the * symbol.


VERSE

*A               B7             E
 Just around the corner there's heartache,
*A                    B7     E
 down the street that losers use,
*  A            B7             E
 if you can wade in through the teardrop,


CHORUS

A                      B7          E
you'll find me, at the home of the blues.


VERSE

*A          B7           E
 I walk and cry while my heart beats,
*      A           B7         E
 keeps time of the drag of my shoe,
*    A         B7                  E
 the sun never shines through this window of mine,


CHORUS

     A            B7          E
it's dark, at the home of the blues.


BRIDGE

             A                                  E
Ohhh but the place, is filled with the sweetest memories,
B7                          E
memories so sweeeeet that I cry.
A
dreams that i've had,
        E
left me feelin' so bad,
B7                                    E
I just wanna give up and lay down and die.


VERSE

 A              B7             E
 Sooo if you've just lost your sweetheart,
*       A                 B7         E
 and it seems there's no good way to choose,
*A               B7               E
 come along with me, misery loves company,


CHORUS

       A               B7          E
you're welcome, at the home of the blues.
