Rhythm Of The Blues
Carpenter Mary Chapin
Album: Come On, Come On

Intro: (F-C-Gm-Gm7)-(F-C-Gm-Gm7)

F                  C             Gm              Gm7
   I can hear the rain come down,   I can listen with my heart
F                  C               Gm          Gm7               
   I can see with both eyes closed in the dark
Bb                             
   Sleep will come in just a while but till it does I choose
          F           Dm                 Bb
To listen to the rain,   it's the rhythm of the blues
 
F                      C             Gm                       Gm7
  I walk along these streets of home    that once belonged to us
F              C       Gm              Gm7
  And now baby I walk alone and I am lost
Bb
  In the sound of my own footsteps on the avenues
           F               Dm           Bb
  I guess I'm only walking    to rhythm of the blues

Am          Dm        Bb      C         Am          Dm         Bb          C 
  I don't wanna hear another word spoken,  I don't wanna see another tear shed
Am      Dm         Bb         C     Eb                      Bb
  I can't seem to fix what's broken,  like this record baby in my head


Instrumental: (F-C-Gm-Gm7)-(F-C-Gm-Gm7)

F-Bb                             F-Bb
   Lonely looks as bad on me as       lonely looks on you
        Dm          F     C     Dm          Am    Bb           F-Bm
  And still we keep on moving       to the rhythm of the blues

F            C                   Gm                 Gm7
  I want a place to call my own,    you have never been
F                C                  Gm              Gm7    
  I wanna look around and know you won't be coming back again
Bb
  On some pretense paper-thin that I can see right through
              F       Dm                 Bb
You come and go baby,    like the rhythm of the blues

                     Dm                 Bb
You come and go baby,   like the rhythm of the blues
                     Dm                 Bb  
You come and go baby,   like the rhythm of the blues...
