[Verse 1]
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain,
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Wherever I have gone, wherever I've been and gone,
[C#] [F#]
Wherever I have gone
[G#] [F#] [C#]
The blues are all the same.
[Verse 2]
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Send out for whisky, baby, send out for gin,
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Me and room service, honey, me and room service, babe,
[C#] [F#]
Me and room service
[G#] [F#] [C#]
Well, we're living a life of sin
[Verse 3]
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
When I'm not drinking, baby, you are on my mind,
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
When I'm not sleeping, honey, when I ain't sleeping, mama,
[C#] [F#]
When I'm not sleeping
[G#] [F#] [C#]
Well, you know you'll find me crying.
[Verse 4]
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Try another city, baby, another town,
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Wherever I have gone, wherever I've been and gone,
[C#] [F#]
Wherever I have gone
[G#] [F#] [C#]
The blues come following down.
[Verse 5]
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Living is a gamble, baby, loving's much the same,
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Wherever I have played, wherever I throw them dice,
[C#] [F#]
Wherever I have played
[G#] [F#] [C#]
The blues have run the game.
[Verse 6]
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Maybe tomorrow, honey, someplace down the line,
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
I'll wake up older, so much older, mama,
[C#] [F#]
Wake up older
[G#] [F#] [C#]
And I'll just stop all my trying.
[Verse 1/Outro]
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain,
[C#] [F#] [C#] [F#]
Wherever I have gone, wherever I've been and gone,
[C#] [F#]
Wherever I have gone
[G#] [F#] [C#]
The blues are all the same.
