life can be mighty monotonous,
                        Gm
We're always battlin' boredom;
                                    Gm
Where, tell me where has it gotten us?
                       Cm
Everything's still so doggone hum-drum!

Gm               Eb              Dm
Stuck in a rut, gettin' nowhere fast!
Gm  Bb              Eb           D
Mmmm-mmm, I got the hum-drum blues!
Gm                       C           D
Fightin' the future and mad at the past!
Gm    Bb            Eb
Mmmm-mmm, I got the hum-drum blues!

D
Ooh honey,
  C
When you ain't got money,
                               C
Then you just can't do as you choose;
           D                      Gm       Eb
Just gotta live with the hum-drum blues!

F Gm Eb

Gm
Don't know which way I'm goin',
   Gm
I don't know which way I come from?
                         Gm
Rainin', a shine or a-snowin',
                         Gm
Everything's so doggone hum-drum!
F                Gm,
Love me honey, I wish you would!
Bb                  D
Uh-huh, I got the hum-drum blues!
Gm                   Eb       D
Sure would do me a world o' good,
Bb                  Eb
'Cause I've got the blues!
Gm
Oooh baby,
                 C
If you love me, maybe
                            Cm
we could get together and lose
D               Gm       Eb              Cm      Gm   F   D
These mean old, mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm-mmm, a-humdrum blues!
