E 
Tryin' hard to be a happy woman. 
 
But sometimes life just overcomes me, 
A7                                   E E7 E E7 E E7 E 
Everyday I'm workin' just to pay my dues. 
B7                    A7              E  E7 E E7 E E7 E 
Lay down at night, my mind is so confused. 
E 
Goin' down south with the New York City blues, 
 
Gotta hit the road before I blow a fuse, 
        A7                            E E7 E E7 E E7 E 
I might buy me a Cadillac or a Chevrolet. 
B7                         A7                   E E7 E E7 E E7 
I don't care what model as long as it takes me away 
 
SOLO 
 

E 
I've been hiding my heart in a trunk. 
 
Can you come see me when my ship has sunk 
A7                                     E E7 E E7 E E7 E 
You can give me loovin, that I can't refuse, 
    B7                           A7              E E7 E E7 E E7 
And love is the one thing that's sure to cure my blues. 
E 
Goin' down the road with a heave heart, 
 
Tryin' to find lightness in the dark, 
A7                                          E E7 E E7 E E7 E 
Tryin' to live my life, tryin' to get satisfied. 
B7                            A7                    E E7 E E7 E E7 E 
My mind is in the city but my heart is in the countryside. 
 
SOLO
