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 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!
