D                   G                    D   
Don't you cry __ don't you moan 
G7                                    C7 
Hang your head down all night long 
G                      D7                           G  C7 
That ole feeling sure ain't nothing new 
                   G                      D7    
It's in your walk, it's in your talk 
             G7                        C7 
There's only one way to shake it off,  
                  G          D7                   G         
You got to get to it before it gets to you 
                 D                                               G 
So Put a quarter in that jukebox, let it drop 
           D                                                      E 
Put another one in, play it again, don't let it stop 
              C 
There's only one thing I've found  
            G                      C 
That'll turn it all around 
        G        
The blues can't do no business 
          D                                G 
On a honky tonk side of town 
D                    G                     D 
You gotta slip,       you gotta slide 
G7                             C7 
There're gonna try to nail your hide 
G                             D7                                            G   C7 
Yeah, they'll put a hurting on you, given half a chance 
              G                 D7 
So get mean and get slick 
G7                         C7  
You gotta pull out every trick 
             G                              D7                           G 
Cause everybody knows the blues don't like to dance 

to chorus: 
G 
Well, you can walk that walk 
        D7                 G                           C7   
And talk that talk, and boogie till you shake it off 
             G                           D7 
No the blues can't do no business 
             G7                     C7              
The blues can't do no business 
          G 
The blues can't do no business  
              D7                      G7
