INTRO: One strum on the 
" B " 
 

VERSE ONE 
B 
Lord I went to the doctor..he took one look 
            E                      B 
He said the trouble with you ain't in my book 
     E                          B 
I'll tell you what it is but it ain't good news 
                                     F#7      B 
You've got an awful bad case of them low down blues 
 
CHORUS 
 

B            E                 B 
I've got the mean old miseries in my soul 
  E                          B 
I went to the river but the waters too cold 
     E                                B 
I've walked the floor 'till I've worn out my shoes 
                                      F#7      B 
Lord they're killin' me ..I mean them low down blues 
 
VERSE TWO 
B 
Lord I never knew a man... could feel this bad 
  E                       B 
I never knew livin' could be so sad. 
E           B 
All I do is set and cry 
                               F#7          B 
Lord I'd have to get better be-fore I could die 
 
CHORUS 
 

B            E                 B 
I've got the mean old miseries in my soul

I went to the river but the waters too cold 
       E                              B 
I've walked the floor 'till I've worn out my shoes 
                                      F#7      B
