[Verse 1]AB
Just around the corner
E
there's heartache
ABE
Down the street that losers use
AB
If you can wade in
E
through the teardrops
AB
You'll find me at the Home
E
of the Blues
[Verse 2]ABE
I walk and cry while my heartbeat
AB
Keeps time with the drag
E
of my shoes
AB
The sun never shines
E
through this window of mine
ABE
It's dark at the Home of the Blues
[Chorus]A
Oh, but the place is filled
E
with the sweetest mem'ries
BE
Memories so sweet that I cry
A
Dreams that I've had
E
left me feeling so bad
F#
I just want to give up
B
and lay down and die
[Verse 3]AB
So if you've just
E
lost your sweetheart
A
And it seems there's
BE
no good way to choose
AB
Come along with me,
E
misery loves company
AB
You're welcome at the Home
E
of the Blues

How to play Home Of The Blues: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for Home Of The Blues by Joaquin Phoenix on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
To play Home Of The Blues by Joaquin Phoenix, think in E major (four sharps: F♯, C♯, G♯, D♯). It takes 4 chords: A, B, E and F#.
Listen for A – B – E – A (IV – V – I – IV in E major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 2nd fret and play the shapes G, A, D, E (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 50% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
