[Intro]

[Verse 1]
D
My girl has an uncle,
D
With a roadhouse on his land,
D
Where people sing their songs,
C G D
Alone or with their band.
D
Everyone is welcome,
D
There's a seat to choose,
D
But don’t get there too late,
C G D
and bring your own booze.
[Chorus]
C D
Hmmm, the Stables Blues
C D
Hmmm, the Stables Blues
[Verse 2]
D
When you come and visit,
D
and walk through that door,
D
you see posters on the wall,
C G D
from the ones who sang before.
D
A wooden floor with carpets,
D
Flags hang from the roof,
D
And though it can get loud,
C G D
You hear the upstairs neighbour move.
[Chorus]
C D
Hmmm, the Stables Blues
C D
Hmmm, the Stables Blues
[Verse 3]
D
Johnny’s in the corner,
D
With Karin by his side,
D
He tells the crowd it’ll start,
C G D
When the time is right.
D
People sitting down,
D
On any chair they choose,
D
Gathered round the fire,
C G D
Kicking off their shoes.
[Chorus]
C D
Hmmm, the Stables Blues
C D
Hmmm, the Stables Blues
[Verse 4]
D
When the singing’s done,
D
And people clap their hands,
D
There’s a big brown hat for tips,
C G D
And merch for all the fans.
D
It was a place for horses,
D
Filled with ropes and boots,
D
So that’s why it’s called The Stables,
C G D
And now you know its roots.
