     EVERYBODY'S HAD THE BLUES
     Recorded by: Merle Haggard
     Transcribed by: George Richardson

     I play this one with my fret bar on the fourth fret to bring it
     into my voice range.

     (G) Everybody's had the (Am7) blues sometimes and
     (D7) everybody knows the (G) tune. And everybody
     knows the (Am7) way I'm feelin' cause (D7) everybody's
     had the (G) blues.

     CHORUS:  A (D) lonely, (Am7) song some (D) one is (Am7) gone,
     a (G) story old as (D) time. Love, (Am7) hate, or (D) want
     and (Am7) wait till (G) misery fills your (D) mind.
     But (G) everybody knows the (Am7) way I'm fellin' cause
     (D7) everybody's had the (G) blues.

     Interlude, Repeat Verse and Chorus.
