Capo on the 6th fret.
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
G               C        
Catch a boat to England, 
      G        C
baby, maybe to Spain,
G        C            
Wherever I have gone, 
G             C
wherever I've been and gone,
G        C
Wherever I have gone
    D      C              G
The blues     are all the same.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
G            C       
Send out for whisky, 
      G            C
baby, send out for gin,
G           C        
Me and room service, 
       G           C
honey, me and room service, babe,
G           C
Me and room service
      D       C              G
Well, we're living a life of sin
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
G            C         
When I'm not drinking, 
      G             C
baby, you are on my mind,
G            C         
When I'm not sleeping, 
       G            C
honey, when I ain't sleeping, mama,
G            C
When I'm not sleeping
      D               C       G
Well, you know you'll find me crying.
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
G           C     
Try another city, 
      G       C
baby, another town,
G        C            
Wherever I have gone, 
G             C
wherever I've been and gone,
G        C
Wherever I have gone
    D      C                 G
The blues     come following down.
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
G           C       
Living is a gamble, 
      G                 C
baby, loving's much the same,
G        C              
Wherever I have played, 
G          C
wherever I throw them dice,
G        C
Wherever I have played
    D      C              G
The blues    have run the game.
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
G     C                
Maybe tomorrow, honey, 
G                  C
someplace down the line,
G            C      
I'll wake up older, 
G       C
so much older, mama,
G       C
Wake up older
    D              C      G
And I'll just stop all my trying.
 
 
[Verse 1/Outro]
 
G               C        
Catch a boat to England, 
      G        C
baby, maybe to Spain,
G        C            
Wherever I have gone, 
G             C
wherever I've been and gone,
G        C
Wherever I have gone
    D      C              G
The blues     are all the same.
