[I]
Why do I sit and cry
without a reason I don’t know why
[II]
It’s my soul It’s my soul
[III] [II] [I]
It’s my soul, people it’s my soul
If I should come up and run
without a reason ??????
It’s my soul it’s my soul
It’s my soul, people it’s my soul
M-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-my soul, it’s my soul (you get the idea)
Then Jam over a basic 12-bar blues:
E for Four bars, A for Two, E for Two, B for One, A for One, E for Two
