Shadows are fallin' all over town   Another night and these blues got me down 
C         A  D7                       G     Am  A#°  G/B 
 Oh, misery!   I sure could use some company              Since he's

been gone I ain't been the same   I carry weight like an old ball 
      G#            C             A  D7                          C  F  G7

And each time I saw love walk out the door I swore never get caught up again  
 

               C                     Gm  C7         F 
But ain't it true? It takes what it takes  And sometimes we get 
               G#       C           A  D7                             C
