G                    C            G 
Well I first saw the light of day 32 years ago 

                                         D7 
And a lot of things have changed this is true 

G                          C                  G 
But there's one thing that stayed the same no matter where I go 

                   D7             G 
I've always been a brother to the blues 


     C                                  G 
I've traveled down the road that has no end 

                                      D7 
I've fought the devil knowing I can't win 

    C                            G    C 
The life I lead is not the one I cho-ose 

G                  D7             G 
I've always been a brother to the blues 


              C         G 
People try to tell me I bring it on myself 

                                   D7 
But all they've ever known is good news 

G                C             G 
So they can take their therapy just leave me alone 

                   D7             G

     C                                  G

    C                            G    C

              C              G 
Daddy told me son nothing in this world is free 

                                   D7 
And Lord I know I've had to pay my dues 

G                   C               G 
But it don't matter what I think or what I think I've earned 

                   D7             G 
I've always been a brother to the blues
