Trying to ease the pain

Low F harp, Bug's one man band practise... and you thought traffic was harder now!

Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain
Every night I go to sleep, the blues fall down like rain
Takin' pills and cheap whiskey, just to try to ease the pain

It's hard to gamble when you lose every bet
Hard to save money when you're twenty years in debt
The blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain
I'm gonna take a shotgun now, people, and disconnect my brain

I made some mistakes, had some bad breaks
Now my mind don't work and my whole body aches
Blues is fallin', fallin' down on me like rain
My life is like water, just swirlin' down the drain

Tried standin' up, keep on fallin' down
Tried standin' up, keep on fallin' down
Everywhere I go the blues is all around

In 1905 There were only 8,000 cars in the U.S., and only 144 miles of paved roads.

The maximum speed limit in most cities was 10 mph.

The population of Las Vegas, Nevada, was only 30!!!

in 1905
Crossword puzzles, canned beer, and ice tea hadn't been invented yet.

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. (Shocking!)

There were about 230 reported murders in the entire U.S.

More than 95 percent of all births in the U.S. took place at home.

Five leading causes of death in the U.S in 1905. were:
1. Pneumonia and influenza
2. Tuberculosis
3. Diarrhea
4. Heart disease
5. Stroke

Comment by BUGGY (C) on September 2, 2019 at 8:17pm: Oddly it's a low F lee oscar ( the low C version I had half the notes didnt play well) matching to a new harp pushes you places you would never go.. I also finally found a tune to suit my minor natural harp now thats a weird one...as it suits sad minor chords
