I'm [C] tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.

I'm [F] tore down, I'm almost level with the [C] ground. [lick]

Well, I [G] feel like this when my [F] baby can't be [C] found. [G]

I [C] went to the river [C] to jump in.

My [C] baby showed up and said, "I will tell you when."

Well, I'm [F] tore down, I'm almost level with the [C] ground. [lick]

Well, I [G] feel like this when my [F] baby can't be [C] found. [G]

I [C] love you babe with all my [C] heart and soul;

[C] Love like mine will [C] never grow old.

[C] Love you in the morning and in the [C] evening too.

[C] Every time you leave me I get mad with you.

Chorus

Twenty-four Bar Blues Solo

I [C] love you baby with [C] all my might;

[C] Love like mine is [C] out of sight.

I'll [C] lie for you if you [C] want me too.

I [C] really don't believe that your love is true.

Chorus

I'm [C] tore down, I'm almost level with the ground.

Well, I'm [F] tore down, I'm almost level with the [C] ground. [lick]

Well, I [G] feel like this when my [F] baby can't be [C] found.
