Zimmerman Blues

C              Dm       Bb                F G
I get a little sadness now, just now and then.
C            Dm       Bb             F   G
It comes to remind me, what it was like when.
F      G           C     F C
I was out on that road,
F       G          C
happy, hungry and cold.
F                   G
First you win and then you lose.
Am  F               G         C
Oh, Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues.
Am  F               G         C
Oh, Lord, I got the Zimmerman blues


C             Dm   Bb                 F      G
Don't get me money now, if it's bad for my head.
C                 Dm        Bb              F           G
You can keep the honey now, put something else on the bread.
F                G           C      F C
To lose all them old time friends,
F                         G         C
who missed how they were making it end.
   F               G
And we all wound up confused.
Am     F                 G         C
That's what you call the Zimmerman blues.

C                Dm      Bb                  F G
Do a concert for Angela, build a building or two.
C               Dm     Bb      F         G
It gets harder for me, but easier for you.
   F            G           C       F C
As sure as the stars turn above,
F             G             C
all we ever asked for was love.
F                      G
And I think that we've all been used.
Am     F           G         C
Ending up with the Zimmerman blues.

It comes to remind me, when I called you a friend.
   F           G        C     F C
So where do we go from here?
    F            G             C
For me it won't ever get that near.
        F                   G
And if it did I know what I would choose.
Am F             G         C
Anything but the Zimmerman blues.
