Blues In The Night

Bb
My mama done tol' me
Bb
When I was in pigtails
Bb                    Bb7
My mama done tol' me so

[Verse 1]
Eb7
A man's gonna sweet talk
Ab7
Give you the big eye
Bb7          Cm    Dm      Dbm
But when the sweet talk is done
F7
A man is a two-face
  Gb7            F7
A worrisome thing who'll leave you
Bb7       Eb7     Bb7    F7
Singing the blues in the night

[Verse 2]
Bb7                      Eb7
Now you know the rain is fallin'
                Bb7
Hear that train callin' whooee
Eb7
My mama done tol' me
Ab7
Oh that lonesome whistle
Bb7
Howlin' cross the trestle
Eb7
My mama done tol' me
F7
Awhooee ahwhooee
Gb7             F7      Bb7
Clicketyclacks echoin' back
Eb7       Bb7   F7
The blues in the night

[Bridge]
Eb7         Cdim                   F7
The evening breeze will start the trees to cryin'
        Db7                 C
And the moonlight hides its light
G                C            F Gb F E Eb7
When you get the blues in the night
Eb7         Cdim                   F7
Oh take my word the mockingbird will sing
            Db7             C
His saddest saddest kind of song
G                   C              F Gb F E Eb7
He knows things are wrong and he's right

[Verse 3]
Bb7                    Eb7
From Natchez to Mobile from Memphis to St. Joe
Bb7
Wherever the four winds blow
Eb
Yeah I've been to the big towns
Ab7
And I heard me some big talk too
                         Bb7
But when the big talk is done
F7
A man is a two-face
Gb7               F7
A worrisome thing leave you
Bb7            Eb7          Bb7    F7
Singing oh the blues in the night
