Broken Hearted Blues

This is one of my all time favorite songs, period. It's only a four
chord progression and a tiny lil' riff, but it's so simple yet beautiful.

D maj C maj 7 A min E min lil' riff (in key of D)
E--2--------0---------0--------0---------------------------------------|
B--1--------0---------1--------0----------------7--8-7--10-8-7-7-------|
G--2--------0---------2--------0----------------7--7-7--7--7-7-7-------|
D--0--------2---------2--------2----------------0--0-0--0--0-0-0-------|

A-----------3---------0--------2---------------------------------------|
E------------------------------0---------------------------------------|

D major C maj 7
This is a song that I wrote when I was young

A minor E minor D maj (play the lil' riff here)
and I call it the broken hearted blues

D major C maj 7
The air on that night was tempered like a knife

A minor E minor D maj (play the lil' riff here)
and the people wore the face masks of a clown

.....the same four chord progression with the riff at the end, that's the
whole song, simple and sweet, just the way I like em'....the Axe Miester!
