The Blues Comes Howling Jan Hauenstein

(Em) (Am) (C) (D) (B7) (Em, bass run: E-B-E-B-E)
(Gm, bass run: G-D-G-D-G) (Ebj7, bass run: Eb-A#-G-A#-G)
Late at night (Em7)when I see
(Gm6)I´m not quite the man I´d like to be,
(Am7)Makes me feel like a (Bm7)fish in a sea
Without (Em)water.(Em bass run: B-E-B-E)
(Gm, bass run: G-D-G-D-G) (Ebj7, bass run: Eb-A#-G-A#-G)

Late at night when the (Em7)blues comes creeping
(Gm6)Blackness underneath the door comes seeping,
(Am7)Into the hole in the (Bm7)floor I´m peeping,
Like we (Em)ought to
Do some(B7)times.(B7#5)(B7)

The (Em)blues comes howling (Am)in the night
Like a (C)frantic dog, like(D) nobody´s child,
And it (B7)makes me crazy, and it (B7#5)makes me (B7)wild, (Em)oh…
(Em bass run: B-E-B-E) (Gm, bass run: G-D-G-D-G)
(Ebj7, bass run: Eb-A#-G-A#-G)

(Em)Late at night when the (Em7)room starts to sway
And I (Gm6)feel like something life lost along along the way,
It´s (Am7)hard to keep the (Bm7)blues at bay.
Nothing (Em)rhymes
When it comes (B7)calling.(B7#5)(B7)

(Em)Late at night with the (Em7)moon like a skull
And my (Gm6)mind all blind and numb and dull,
On a (Am7)flight through the night I´m a (Bm7)broken gull
That´s (Em)falling
And (B7)reeling.(B7#5)(B7)

The (Em)blues comes howling (Am)in the night
(C)And I don´t know (D)left from right,
And it´s (B7)wailing like an a(B7#5)bandoned (B7)child
When it comes (Em7)falling (A7) (B7) (hold)
From the (Em)ceiling. (Em bass run: B-E-B-E) (Gm, bass run: G-D-G-D-G)
(Ebj7, bass run: Eb-A#-G-A#-G) (Em, bass run:E-B-E-B-E-E)

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
