Intro: A    D 



[Verso 1]
 
       G                                               D 
When I woke up this morning, my love was lyin' next to me 
                       A                       D 
Every heartache that I ever had was just a memory 
                           G                                      D 
And she kissed me with her tender lips and softly whispered in my ear 
                        A                    D 
"Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years" 
 


[Refrão]
 
                       G 
And there'd be no more sad songs 
                     D 
No more reason for a saxophone 
                   A 
B.B. King might as well stay home 
                     D 
Ray Charles and even old George Jones 
                      G 
Close the door to the Heartbreak Hotel 
                    D 
No more cryin' time here 
                       A                    D     E 
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years 
 


[Verso 2]
 
                      A 
If we don't live in a mansion 
                 E 
Way up high on a hill 
                     
We don't drive a Mercedes- Benz 
                     E 
Never have and never will 
                           A                         E 
But there's a whole lot of feel good goin' on around here 
                                           E 
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years 
 


[Refrão]
 
                   A 
There'd be no more sad songs 
                   E 
Blue Mondays would all be gone 
                           
They'd have to close down New Orleans 
                        E 
Beal Street in Memphis, Tennessee 
                         A 
If the whole world had a love like ours 
                   E 
There'd be no more tears 
                                           E 
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years

Close the door to the Heartbreak Hotel 
                    E 
No more cryin' time here 
                                           E 
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years 
                                              E 
Baby, we could set the blues back a hundred years
