St. Louis Blues Words & Music: W. C. (William Christopher) Handy There is a nice, easy arrangement of this in the July 2007 issue of Acoustic Guitar. A7 D7 [some use E7] A A7 I hate to see, that evening sun go down. D7 A7 I hate to see, that evening sun go down. E7 D7 A D7 A7 D7 Since my baby, up and left this town. Feelin' tomorrow, like I feel today. If I'm feelin' tomorrow, like I feel today. I'll pack my truck, and make my getaway. BRIDGE: Am E7 St. Louis woman, with her diamond rings E7 Am Pulls that man around, by her apron strings. Am E7 If it weren't for powder, or for store-bought hair, E7 Am B E7 That man I love would, have gone nowhere, nowhere. I got the St. Louis Blues; just as blue as I can be. That man's got a heart like a rock cast in the sea. Or else, he wouldn't have gone so far from me. I love my baby, like a school boy loves his pie. Like a Kentucky colonel, loves his mint 'n rye. I love my man, 'til the day I die.
