Play the last verse the same as a normal verse with just a few changes...

After riff 3 play riff 1 twice, then riff 3, riff 1, 
riff 3, then riff 1. Then the song fades out. That's it.
Here are the lyrics. Hope it's right! 


Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around 
My baby's got a man, lord way across town 
Its the same old story 
Tell me where will it end 
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again

Well I wrote you a letter, must have read it wrong 
Stood at the doorway and baby you was gone 
Took a lot of courage 
To let the telephone ring 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

Well you gave me the business, though I didn't mind 
'Cause I got a lot of patience, Lord got a lot of time 
Its the same old story 
Tell me where will it end 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again 
Here come my blues

Lead 1

Gonna find me a mountain and gonna hide out 
Ain't talkin' to you babe, Lord I ain't comin' back 
Well I heard that rumor, tell where will it end 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

Lead 2

Have you heard that rumor that's goin' around 
My baby's got a man, lord way across town 
Its the same old story 
Tell me where will this end 
Yes I heard the news its the same old blues again 
I got the same old blues, same old blues again

I got the blues... same old blues
