Apologies are due to Brownie McGhee but I wrote this. The chord spacing got screwed up bringing this from Word but you guys know how to do it.

Covid Life Blues

[Intro] C A7 D7 G C A7 D7 G

C C7
I once said “Please leave me alone”
F Fm
Now I’m sheltering in my home.
C A7 D7 G
Cause this old covid life, this sick life,
C A7 D7 G
Is getting me.

C C7
I see Trump, everyday on TV.
F Fm
Claiming he doesn’t have any responsibility.
C A7 D7 G
This old Covid life, this sick life,
C A7 D7 G
Is getting me.

C C7
I’d like to lay my head, on some old railroad track.
F Fm
But they won’t let me outside, cause I don’t have a mask.
C A7 D7 G
This old Covid life, this sick life,
C A7 D7 G
Is getting me.

[Solo]
C C7 F Fm C A7 D7 G C A7 D7 G

C C7
I told my wife that I’m so happy,
F Fm
to be here with the one I love.
C A7 D7 G
She answered me , Lucky you.
C A7 D7 G
It’s getting me.

Coming up with verses was simple, please add some of your own. I'll start with a couple

I can't go to church, all day Sunday
So I'll roll round in bed on any day that ends with "Y"
This old.....

I'm just like a turtle, underneath it's hard shell
It's shelter shelter shelter shelter, shelterin' Hell
This old....

My mojo was workin' but don't work no more
I can't get it to go, through the door
This old

Please help me out, add some verses to this song
I can't keep it up cause the thrill is gone
This old....

So I'm laying down a verse writing challenge. I'll be singing this song at a Zoom sing around of folkies tonight. Please add some verses.

Chubby, old guy trying to play some blues.
Love it! Thanks for sharing. Especially enjoyed you snuck in some humor;) We can all use that about now. "I told my wife that I’m so happy,
to be here with the one I love.
She answered me , Lucky you." :D
