Good mornin? blues, blues how do ya do? Well I?m doin? fine, no thanks to you Notes: 1) The original composer was Huddy Ledbetter, and many singers have adapted the song. This particular version is a combination of Ledbetter's version (verses 1, 2, 3) and Van Morrison's version (Verses 4, 5). 2) The sixth verse is a repeat of the Chorus except for the final chord progression (the chords from previous chord progressions are switched around to end the song) 3) The maj 7 chord ( F-A-C-E, with low E and A strings damped out) 4) The chord progression at the end of each verse is one chord a beat 5) Some versions will cut out the Chorus a few times.
