Zimmerman Blues

C              Dm       Bb                F G
I get a little sadness now, just now and then. 
C            Dm       Bb             F   G    
It comes to remind me, what it was like when. 
F      G           C     F C
I was out on that road, 
F       G          C
happy, hungry and cold.
F                   G 
First you win and then you lose.  
F                   G          C     Am
Oh, Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues. 
F                   G           C
Oh, Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues


C             Dm   Bb                 F      G
Don't get me money now, if it's bad for my head. 
C                 Dm        Bb              F           G    
You can keep the honey now, put something else on the bread. 
F                G           C      F C
To lose all them old time friends, 
F                         G         C   
who missed how they were making it end. 
   F               G   
And we all wound up confused.  
  F                       G         C       Am
That's what you call the Zimmerman blues.

C                Dm      Bb                  F G
Do a concert for Angela, build a building or two. 
C               Dm     Bb      F         G
It gets harder for me, but easier for you. 
   F            G           C       F C
As sure as the stars turn above, 
F             G             C
all we ever asked for was love. 
F                      G
And I think that we've all been used.  
F                  G          C     Am
Ending up with the Zimmerman blues.

So where do we go from here? 
    F            G             C
For me it won't ever get that near.
        F                   G 
And if it did I know what I would choose. 
   F             G           C    Am     
Anything but the Zimmerman blues.
