Invitation To The Blues Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Well she's Dmup against the register witA♯mh an apron and a spatula,

With yesFterday's deliveries and the tBdimickets for the bachelors

She's a Gm7moving violation from her A7sus4conk down to her A7shoes,

But it's jDmust an invitaGmtion to tA7he blDmues

And you Gmfeel just like Cagney, she lC7ooks like Rita Hayworth

At the cFounter of the Schwab's drugstore

You wonder Gmif she might be single, she's a lonC7er and likes to mingle

GFot to be patient, try and piAck A7up Dma cA7lue

She said "HDmow you gonna like 'em, over mA♯medium or scrambled?",

You say "AnyFway's the only way", be carGeful not to gamble

On a Gm7guy with a suitcase and a A7sus4ticket getting A7out of here

In a tiDmred bus station in an olA♯md pair of shoes

This ain't nA7sus4othing but an invitA7ation to the bDmlues

But you can't tGmake your eyes off her, get aC7nother cup of java,

And it's jFust the way she pours it for you, joking with the customers

Mercy meGmrcy, Mr. Percy, there ain't noC7thing back in Jersey

But a brFoken-down jalopy of a mAan I left beA7hind

And a drDmeam that I was chasing,

a bA♯mattle with booze

And an A7sus4open inA7vitation to the Dmblues

But she used to hGmave a sugar daddy and a cC7andy-apple Caddy,

And a baFnk account and everything, aFccustomed to the finer things

He probably leGmft her for a socialite, and he diC7dn't love her 'cept at night,

And thFen he's drunk and never even toAld her that he cared

So they Dmtook the registration,

And the caA♯mr-keys and her shoes

And A7sus4left her with an iA7nvitation to the Dmblues(...solo sax)

'Cause there's a CGmontinental Trailways leaving lC7ocal bus tonight, good evening

YFou can have my seat, I'm sticking Fround here for a while

Get me a Gmroom at the Squire, the C7filling station's hiring,

And FI can eat here every night, what the hAell have I got to lose?

Got a crDmazy sensation,

Go or stA♯may? now I gotta choose,

And I'll A7sus4accept your inviA7tation to the Dmblues
