This song really needs to be played in inversions using bar chords.
They heard the breeze in the trees, singing weird melodies.
And they made that, the start of the blues
And from a jail came the wail of a downhearted frail.
And they played that as part of the blues.
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill they took a new note.
Pushed it through a horn till it was born into a blue note.
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it and gave out the news.
That the Southland, gave birth to the blues.
From a whippoorwill, out on a hill they took a new note.
Pushed it through a horn till it was born into a blue note.
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it and gave out the news.
That the Southland, gave birth to the blues.
.
That the Southland, gave birth to the blues.
