[Verse]
 G                      C        G
Just when every ray of hope was gone
                          C               G
I should have known that you would come along 
             D            
I know I can always count on you
 C       D          G
My old friend the blues
 G                       C        G
Another lonely night a nameless town
                       C                  G
If sleep dont take me first you'll come around
             D               
I know I can always count on you
 C       D         G 
My old friend the blues

[Chorus]
 G                  C           G       C
Lovers leave and  friends they let you down
                G         C       G
Your the only sure thing that I found
             D             
I know I can always count on you
 C       D          G
My old friend the blues

 G                 C            G       C
Lovers leave and  friends they let you down
               G          C       G
Your the only sure thing that I found
             D             
I know I can always count on you
 C       D         G
My old friend the blues  
                    D    
Just let me hide my weary heart in you
 C       D          G 
My old friend the blues
