Someone requested Blues Anthem by Jimmy Page and Chris Farlow. You`ll
find the song on Jimmy Page `Outrider` or Chris Farlow `Waiting In The
Wings`. I love especially the a capella version on `Waiting In The
Wings`. The lyrics maybe not right, because I`m not native speaking,
sorry for that.
Peace

Blues Anthem -- Words and Music by Page/Farlow
{Intro}
[E] [E] [A] [E] [E] [Fm B] [E] [E]
{Verse 1}
If I [E]cannot be so happy with [A]out you my [E]dear,
If I cannot hold you close evr`y [F7]second that you`re [B]here,
You must [A]know I can`t go on.
[E] Ev`ry [A]time I sing my [E]song.
If I cannot have your love [F7] I`ll [B]sing the [E]blues.
{Verse 2}
Every time I`m feeling low and far away.
All the time I think of you, every second of the day.
And you know you hurt my pride,
Bud I`d rather be by your side.
If I cannot have your love I`ll sing the blues.
{Chorus 1}
Sing the [B]blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife.
How can a man expect to be so [B]free.
[Badd6] To [A]travel this so lonely road [E]and to [A]carry this heavy [E]load,
Is becoming far [E/C] too much, [Fm]too much [B]for [E]me.
{Verse 3}
If I cannot be so happy then I`m gonna be on my way.
The many nights I needed your love it never worked out that way.
For I must have my babe,
For I`m feeling extremely sad.
If I cannot have your love I`m gonna play the blues.
{Solo}
{Chorus 2}
Sing the [B]blues all my life. I got [A]trouble I got [E]strife.
How can a man expect to be so [B]free.
[Badd6] To [A]travel this so lonely road [E]and to [A]carry this heavy [E]load,
Is becoming far [E/C] too much, [Fm]too much [B]for [E]me.
Yes I`d [E]rather have [E/C]your love [Fm]than [B]singing then [E]blues.
Yes I`d [E]rather have [E/C]your [A/F]love baby than sing the [E]blues.
