Damn Right, I've Got The Blues
Words & Music:
Buddy Guy

The version from the "Damn Right, I've Got The Blues" album is transcribed in the February 2006 issue of Guitar One.  I've given the basic blues changes, but the good Buddy stuff you'll have to get from the transcription.

I can't win, but I don't have a thing to lose

I stopped by my daughter's house.
You know I just want to use the phone.
I stopped by my daughter's house.
You know I just want to use the phone.
You know my new grandbaby came to the door,
And said, "Granddaddy, you know ain't no one at home."

[spoken:]  I said, now, look out!

INSTRUMENTAL SOLO:

You're damn right, I've got the blues from my head down to my shoes.
You're damn right, I've got the blues from my head down to my shoes.
You know I can't win, now, people, cause I don't have a thing to lose.

[spoken:]  All right!
