[Intro]
E Am E (x4)

[Verse 1]
E                               Am                               E
Some days I have to give right in to the blues
Am                      E
Despite how I try
                                    Am                                   E
To keep fightin', it's a sure shot I'm going to lose
Am                      C#m
And I'll tell you why
C#m                      D
You think I'm crazy
D                                      C#m
It's such a sad composition
C#m
But can you blame me
C                                                                  B
For what's been causing my bad disposition?
B                             C         B                    C B
Ain't nothing new with my blue situation
             A#                             A N.C.
And nothing's fine, it's just a mi nor variation

[Interlude]
E Am E (x2)

[Verse 2]
E                                  Am                                    E
When troubles want to find me I ain't hard to find
Am                              E
They know where I am
E                                  Am                                   E
Like a hungry pack of wolves when it's feeding time
Am                    C#m
They tear up a man
C#m                         D
And it's a strange thing
D                                            C#m
'Cause now it don't really matter
C#m
More of the same thing
C                                                                 B
Don't even hurt it's all a part of the pattern
B                     C     B                          C B
But still in all it's a small consolation
            A#              A N.C.
I just define it as a mi nor variation

[Interlude]
E Am E
E Am

[Chorus]
A                                                  A#
Ain't no way to fight 'em darling
A                                              A#
Ain't no way around 'em baby
A                                    A#
Ain't no way to take 'em
B N.C.
Nowhere to hide and believe me I've tried to shake 'em

[Verse 3]
E                            Am                                             E
I'm getting to the point where I don't feel the pain
Am                            E
And I've had enough
E                          Am                                   E
I'm ready for the next time it hits me again
Am                            C#m
'Cause I've gotten tough
C#m                    D
It doesn't faze me
D                                          C#m
And now I've made my decision
C#m
I may be crazy
C                                                                     B
It's not as though I don't know that condition
B                           C             B                  C B
Until I'm through with this blue situation
B                  A#                     A N.C.
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

[Interlude]
E Am E
E Am

[Chorus]
A                                              A#
Ain't nobody's business, baby
A                                        A#
Ain't nobody's worry darlin'
A                                    A#
Ain't nobody's problem
B N.C.
No way to win when you've already been forgotten

[Guitar Solo]
E Am E (x3)
E Am

[Bridge]
C#m                               D
And it's a strange thing
D                                                 C#m
'Cause now it don't really matter
C#m
More of the same thing
C                                                               B
Don't even hurt, it's a part of the pattern
B                           C              B                 C B
Until I'm through with this blue situation
B             A#                          A N.C.           E
Pass me the wine, it's just a minor variation

[Outro]
Am               E    Am E
minor variation
Am                                    E
It ain't no major complication baby
Am                          E      Am
It's just a minor variation
Am                 E Am
That's all it is
Am                E
That's all it is
Am                                 E
It ain't no major aggravation
Am                             E
It's just a minor variation
