My Wabash Blues

words and music by Howard Ashby Kranz

A A7

I spent too much time listening to you;

D Dm7

Spent too much of myself on these Wabash blues.

A A7-E-E7 A A7-E-E7

Well I’m gone, and so are my Wabash blues.

A A7

You called me a coward for wanting to go,

D Dm7

but now I’m not listening, because now I know

A A7-E-E7 A A7-E-E7

that I’m strong, but so are my Wabash blues.

D Dm7

I’m sitting here with my guitar,

A A7 A7-AM7-A

thinking about things you said.

D Dm7

But you won’t listen, so I’m singing to

E E7 E E7

my own Wabash blues instead.

A A7

I spent too much of nothing, got too much of pain.

D Dm7

You know, I actually believed you when you were saying

A A7-E-E7 A A7-E-E7

that I’m wrong, and so are my Wabash blues.

A A7

But you never loved me for what I am;

D Dm7

those Wabash blues were a better friend.

A A7-E-E7 A A7-E-E7

Well I’m gone, and so are my Wabash blues.
