Catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain
G C G C
Wherever I have gone, wherever I�ve been and gone
G C D C G C G C
Wherever I have gone, the blues run the game
G C G C
Send out for whisky, baby, send out for gin
G C Em Em/F#
Me and room service, honey, me and room service, mama
G C D C G C G C
Me and room service, well, we�re living a life of sin
G C G F
When I�m not drinking, baby, you are on my mind
G C Em Em/F#
When I�m not sleeping, honey, when I ain�t sleeping, mama
G C D C G C G C
When I�m not sleeping, well, you know you find me crying
G C G C
Try another city baby, another town
G C Em Em/F#
Wherever I have gone, wherever I�ve been and gone
G C D C G C G C
Wherever I have gone, the blues come following down
G C G F
Living is a gamble, baby, loving�s much the same
G C Em Em/F#
Wherever I have played, whenever I�ve thrown those dice
G C D C G C G C
Wherever I have played, the blues, they run the game
G C G C
Maybe tomorrow, honey, some place down the line
G C Em Em/F#
I�ll wake up older, so much older, mama
G C D C G C G C
I�ll wake up older and I�ll just stop all my trying
G C G C
So catch a boat to England, baby, maybe to Spain
G C G C
Wherever I have gone, wherever I�ve been and gone
G C D C
Wherever I have gone, the blues...are all the same...
