USE strings for key  in which you play

(1)
When I was a youg boy,I stood on a stool.
Playin' a broom tried singin' the blues.
Then I got older and got the real thing.
Bendin' them straws, more easy than strings.
I started  smokin' and drinkin, and playin' around
Hit the doors when they opened played till they shut  'em down.....

(chorous)
Too many whiskeys and too many smokes,
Too many hours, playin' all night Jukes.
All of the women I'd choose and then lose.
Now I'm singin the blues ,
From singin' the blues.

(2)
Now  my old throats burnt up,I no longer sing
But I keep a slidin' and bendin them strings.
I no longer stay out  that late any more,
My whisky is Cola them tired fingers are sore.
But I still got that guitar and E,B, and A
I sit here and play them throughout the day......
