Lyrics

[Acoustic guitar sustains soft, mournful low open chords in background]
The blues came in - TWO, - NIGHT, -- Uninvited
When they whispered your name,
- I tried to fight it..
Tho' you've been gone for a year-
My pillow's still wet with tears...
Once again, them Blues came in - TWO, - NIGHT…
- Uninvited
[Chorus 1]
[Chords: C | D | C | G8 - G4 | G+ | Em7/G | G | D7]
[Explosive dynamic shift: Heavy acoustic strumming, full ringing chords]
[Acoustic guitar locked into explosive downbeat]
[Isolated Front Center Vocal: Desperate, anguished solo guttural belt]
A silly thing, like hearing your name - in the crowd
Makes me want to Shout
I still love you out loud!
If I did-
I'd be a fool, break'n society's rules..
So, them sad ole' blues-
Just came strolling right in,
Tonight, uninvited...
[Hard Stop on the one 1.5s]
[Verse 2]
[Chords: G5~ | D | G | G7 - C | D | G]
[Rhythm tightens: driving acoustic strumming, muted palm strikes on the guitar body]
[Isolated Front Center Vocal: Gravelly solo baritone, voice trembling with thick acoustic swagger]
You left in such a hurry-
Without a kiss or a goodbye...
At first I was so ANGRY!
Way too upset to even cry-
OOoh, - how I grieved for you so,
As roses wilted away..
Tears swelled - like a river in my eyes
Ready to flood me into my sorrows...
It’s so dang hard... so hard..
Not having you, - in my tomorrows--
[Pre-Chorus / Bridge]
[Chords: C | D | A~ | D]
[Acoustic guitar sustaining warm, resonant arpeggiated counterpoint]
Pesty old Blues keep creeping back in
Unexpected and uninvited
[Chorus 2] [Tempo: 106 BPM Steady Southern Country][Chords: C2 | D | C | G - C | D | C6~]
[Full Anthemic Strumming, maximum acoustic resonance]
[Acoustic guitar blasts triumphant counter-melody under heavy rhythm]
[Isolated Front Center Vocal: Pushing vocal cords to the breaking point]
A little thing - like hearing your name in a crowd-
Makes me want to shout, I Still Love YOU!
out loud.
If I did -
I'd be a Fool, breaking society's rules..
[Tempo: 100 BPM Steady Southern Country]
Once again, them dang old blues
Waltz right in tonight uninvited
[Hard Stop 2s]
[Verse 3] [Tempo: 106 BPM Steady Southern Country][Chords: G5~ | D | C - G | G+ | Em7/G | G | D7]
[Breakdown: Sparse acoustic fingerpicking, quiet intimate room tone, aggressive muted strumming on the turnarounds]
[Isolated Front Center Vocal: Gruff gravel-pit solo growl, intimate, voice cracking with heavy grief]
You left in such a hurry
Without a kiss or even a goodbye
At first I was so angry, too upset to even cry
Ooh, I grieved as the roses all wilted
While "I still love you" swells in my heart
The blues came in tonight
Uninvited
[Outro] [Tempo: 112 BPM Steady Southern Country][Tempo slows to emotional ritardando]
[Chords: C | C+ | Em7/G | G | D7 | G]
[Classic acoustic turnaround with emotive, stinging trills and soft ringing chords]
[Isolated Front Center Vocal: Trembling solo baritone, breathless, fading into a choked, grieving whisper]
Aawh
Unwelcome and totally Uninvited...
[Tempo: 98 BPM Steady Southern Country]
Oooh...
Them dang - Old blues,
Unwelcome,
Uninvited
But here you are again...
Singing them old blues in my mind's eye,
Not wanting to say goodbye-
I don't wanna say goodbye...
[Hard final acoustic strum on the G Minor chord | Immediate ring out to silence]
[End]
