G G6 G7 G6
A tree grows in my back yard
C C6 C7 C6
It only grows at night
G G6 G7 G6
Its branches they're all twisted
G G6 G7
Its leaves are afraid of light
[Chorus]
G6 C C6 C7 C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream
C C6 C7 C G7
They say it lives upside your head
D7(+9) C7
But when it's lonely in the morning
G D7(+9)
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead
[Verse 2]
G G6 G7 G6
There's winds out on the ocean
C C6 C7 C6
They're blowin' just as they choose
G G6 G7 G6
But them winds ain't got no emotion, baby
G G6 G7
They don't know the blues
[Chorus]
G6 C C6 C7 C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream
C C6 C7 C G7
They say it lives upside your head
D7(+9) C7
But when it's lonely in the morning
G D7(+9)
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead
[Verse 3]
G G6 G7 G6
My mind's ramblin' and ramblin'
C C6 C7 C6
Just like some a-rolling stone, no
G G6 G7 G6
Since that nightmare come to stay with me, baby
G G6 G7
My thoughts just don't belong
[Chorus]
G6 C C6 C7 C6
They say them blues is just a bad dream
C C6 C7 C G7
They say it lives upside your head
D7(+9) C7
But when it's lonely in the morning
G Em9 A7 D9 G13
You're bound to wish that you was lyin' dead
