Time for some blues.

I was reading my local paper the ‘Oakmere Gazette’ this morning. There was a story about a shortage of milk in the area. It made me sad, so I decided to write a blues song about it. I have to admit that I’m no Eric Clapton LOL more of a Mark Knopfler. The chords for intermediate guitar players, basically E then A for the entire song. I’m thinking of entering my-self into this years European Song Contest.

No Milk Blues.

(E) Baby I got the blues, (A) oh yeah, I got the blues.
(E) Read the news, (A) oh yeah, no one had any milk.

Baby I got the blues, oh yeah, I got the blues.
Went to a farm, oh yeah, cows didn’t have any moos.

Baby I got the blues, oh yeah, I got the blues.
Why have the cows, oh yeah, got no moo Farmer?

Baby I got the blues, oh yeah, I got the blues.
Because they, oh yeah, tend not to moo a lot.

Baby I got the blues, oh yeah, I got the blues.
What about sheep milk, oh yeah, then.

Baby I got the blues, oh yeah, I got the blues.
I don’t have any, oh yeah, sheep.

At the end hang your head down a bit and try and cry if you can.

I would also like to note that this is my second milk related post in as many posts, please don't take me for one of those crazy milk drinkers. I just think milk has allot of artistic merit.
