Blues Before Sunrise

Blues Before Sunrise
words and music leroy carr
concert Bb, cross harp, Eb
slow blues,

-4 -4 4 -3 3 -4 -4 4 -3 -2 -2
Blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes,

-4 -4 -4 -3 -2 -2 -4 -4 4 -3 -2 -2
Blues before sunrise, with tears standing in my eyes.

-3 -3 4 4 4 -4 -4 4 -3' -2 -2
Such a hard up feelin', boy, I sure despise.

Nobody knows
what a shape I'm in.
Nobody knows
what a shape I'm in.
My wife done
left me for another man.

Lost everything,
everything I ever owned
I lost everything,
everything I ever owned
For seven long years
I tried to get along

-4 -4 -4 -3 -2 -4 -4 4 -3 -2 -2
Seven long years, Lord knows I tried,

-4 -4 4 -3 -2 -4 -4 -4 -4 4 -3 -2 -3
Everything I could to get along with my wife, oh

-4 -4 4 -3 -2 -4 -4 4 -3 -2 -2
Blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes,

-3 -3 4 4 4 -4 4 4 -3' -2 -2
Such a hardup feeling, boy, I sure despise.
