There’s a very quick riff at some point :

There’s a lot of picking the high strings throughout the whole song (especially

the * chords), some strumming at other moments, just listen to the song and you’ll figure it out.

Wonderful tune, hope you’ll enjoy it.

Intro

I'm in the kitchen, my baby's in the hall

I'm in the kitchen, my baby's in the hall

I'm in the kitchen, baby's in the hall

She won't speak to me at all

'Cause ya know we got, we got the separation blues.

See that fly - crawlin' up the wall

See that fly - crawlin' up the wall

See that fly - crawlin' up the wall

He won't speak to Miss Spider at all

'Cause ya know they got, they got the separation blues.

When you kick your baby out of bed

Because she won't treat you nice

When you feel mistreated, well,

Buddy take my advice.

Leave that woman and leave her quick

Leave that woman and leave her quick

Leave that woman and leave her quick

Or else she'll have you on a stick

It's better to leave and get some separation blues.

Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve,

Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve,

Adam ate the apple which Eve did thieve,

The Lord said, "Adam, you got to leave"

Well that thieve gave him, gave him the separation blues.

The last words that John the Baptist said,

The last words that John the Baptist said,

The last words that John the Baptist said,

Just before he lost his head,

"This gives me, gives me, gives the separation blues."

This goes to prove since time began

What those women do to men;

It's better to buy than to be sold

To the gutter for a bottle of gin

If she don't treat you like you think she should,

If she don't treat you like you think she should,

If she don't treat you like you think she should,

Your services ain't no longer no good

It's time you got a dose of separation

It’s time you got a dose of seperation blues.
