                            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 maj   C maj 7    A min    E min           lil' riff (in key of D)

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!
