WORRIED  MAN  BLUES
​Beginner                                  BA1 - Unit 2             (Practice) Song-Melody

      Traditional American
Accordion Notation  
​Although you may be a "beginner" on the button accordion, you already know lots of tunes, perhaps including Worried Man Blues.   If so, you already have a sense of how long to hold each treble note, and where to put the emphasis.  You just need to get use to it on the button accordion.
Either row:  Buttons 5 to8*     
(Place first finger at button 5 and little finger at 8, covering all the notes without having to change your finger positions.)
​
  Verse 1: 

   6     6    6*    5*     6    6*   
 You  fill   up   my   sen-ses      

  5*    5*     5*     6*   6     .5     4
Like   a   night   in    a     for - est

  5      5       5       5*     6*     6       6*  
Like  the  moun-tains   in  spring-time      

  5*    5*   5*    6*   6      6*
Like   a  walk  in   the  rain

  6     6    6       6*  5*     6    6*
Like  a  storm  in  the  des-ert      

  5*   5*    5*   6*   6      5    4
Like  a  sleep-y  blue   oc-ean

   5    5   5*   6*     6     6*
You  fill  up  my   sen-ses      

   .5*     6*   6    7*    6
Come  fill  me   a - gain.

Lyrics:
Click HERE for one of the many sites that carry the lyrics for this song.  This will open in a separate window.

The lyrics can also be found in many of songbooks, for example, "The Complete Guitar Player Songbook" by Russ Shipton published by  Amsco Publications of New York/London/Sydney (1989).  I believe this is still in print.
