Denyin' the Blues

Capo II

F#m
Read the news again today
E
Still got nothin' good to say
D
But they say it anyway,
         C#7
Sad but true.

F#m
'S'not much luck to go around
E
In this worn and dusty town
    D
But you don't let it get you down,
    F       E
Oh no, not you;

                A
'Cause you're denyin' the blues
D                Dm               A       C#      F#  F#7
With each "good mornin'", every spoon and coffee cup;
D                                Dm
That mornin' traffic crawls for miles and miles.
      F
But when that feelin' starts creepin' in,
     E                   E7
You pick your chin right up and smile.

         A
You're denyin' the blues
D            Dm                   A        C#     F#  F#7
With every clock you watch, each deadline, every dime.
Bm                          C#        C#7
The sky's so blue, but your heart is too;
         F#m          C#
Well boo hoo, what to do?
        F#       F#7
You'll see it through
           D                         Dm
With those old familiar ways that'll never be the same;
         A
What a shame
    F#7                Bm        C#7                F#m  F#m7
You can't pick up the pieces and set everything all right.
         Dm           Dm7        A
As that long evenin' fades into night
       F#m7          B7               E7
You'll find yourself takin' off your shoes

      A
And denyin' the blues
D            Dm                C#           C#7
Though every now and then the tears fall by ones and twos;
                      A                C#7
'Cause with all your sighin' and your cryin'
     F#                  F#7
You know that you'll be lyin'
    Bm             E7         A
But baby keep on denyin' the blues.

[Break]

      A
You're denyin' the blues
D            Dm                C#           C#7
Though every now and then the tears fall by ones and twos;
                      A                C#7
'Cause with all your sighin' and your cryin'
     F#                  F#7
You know that you'll be lyin'
    Bm             E7
But baby keep on denyin'-
           C#                    C#7
Though it feels just like you're dyin' -
Bm             E7         A   F#
Baby keep on denyin' the blues,
Bm        E7            A
Keep on denyin' those blues!
