The I-Cant-Even-Play-The-Blues Blues Cifras

[Verse 1]
  C                            F                 C
I want to play the blues but I have a problem to tell
  C                            F                 G
I want to play the blues but I have a problem to tell
  F                          G                        C
I don't know the notes, so I can't play the blues too well.
 
[Verse 2]
   C               F               C
My ukulele makes a happy, cheerful sound (pluck C chord)
   C               F               G
My ukulele makes a happy, cheerful sound (pluck G chord)
                F                         G                  C
But when you're playin’ the blues, that’s not what you want around
 
[Bridge]
   F                                    C
My industry’s in a slump, so I’m underemployed
       F                              C
And my creditors are getting really annoyed
     F                                             C       Am
If I don’t find a full-time job soon, I’m gonna be finished
Dm                                            G
Everything but my notes and chords is gettin’ flattened and diminished
 
[Verse 3]
     C                       F             C
So I sing the blues, but the melody don’t agree
        C                       F             G
Yeah, I sing the blues, but the melody don’t agree
  F                   G                   C  Am
I can’t even play the blues, have pity on me.
      F                   G                   C
No, I can’t even play the blues, have pity on me.

  F                   G                   C  Am
