Power Of The Blues

B.B. King

I've been all over Europe 
And across the sea 
With each new place 
It gets clearer to me 
Week after week 
On tour with my band 
You don't have to speak 
'Cause they all understand 

The power of the blues 
Hey, hey, the power of the blues 
And that's good news 
I'm talking about the power of the blues 

Yes, it's just a few changes 
That I won't deny 
But if you think it's easy 
You just give it a try 
You know the truth 
But you're afraid to say it 
That it ain't what I play 
It's the way that I play it 

That's the power of the blues 
Yes, the power of the blues 
You'll change your views 
When you hear the power of the blues 

Now me and Lucille 
We're gonna stop this war 
I'm no politician 
But I know the score 
You can call me a hawk 
Or maybe I'm a dove 
But all we gotta do 
Is shoot 'em full of love 

With the power of the blues 
Hey, the power of the blues 
It's the thing to use 
Talking about the power of the blues 
Yes, I am
