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.)

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.
