[Intro]
|       |        |         |

[Verse 1]
             
The band and I

             
 we played fro

         |        |         |
m nine to five
             
It didn't pay 

              
much 'cause th

            
e place was ju

    |        |         |
st a dive
             
Then one night

           
 I saw her in 

    |        |         |
the crowd
             
And she asked 

              
if singing wit

             
h the band wou

     |        |         |
ld be allowed
             
It was just we

      
ekday night
             
So, I said it 

           
would be alrig

ht
             
That's how I m

             
et the girl wh

         |  
o sang the blu

      |         |
es


[Verse 2]
             
She sang the b

             
lues like no-o

           | 
ne has ever he

       |         |
ard
             
And you could 

             
tell that she'

            |
d lived every 

        |         |
word
             
That girl was 

            
somethin' spec

           | 
ial we could s

       |         |
ee
             
Then she sang 

             
a song of love

             
 and looked at

|        |         |
 me
             
That girl coul

        
d do no wrong
             
So, I let her 

              
sing all night

 
 long
             
And I fell in 

              
love with the 

            
girl who sang 

    |        |         |
the blues

[Middle 8]
  
I still rememb

er that fatefu

l night
    
The man with a

 big cigar
       
Walked in the 

club right up 

to her
       
Said "Hey girl

 I'm gonna mak

e you a star"

[Verse 3]
             
The band and I

             
 still play fr

          | 
om nine to fiv

       |         |
e
             
But since that

             
 night the mus

        |        |         |
ic ain't alive
             
That girl stil

            
l sings the so

          | 
ngs to me I kn

       |         |

But now she's 

             
singin' 'em on

       |        |         |
 the radio
             
And it hurts t

    |        |         |

[Outro]
             
In love with t
