About This Song


Straightforward blues song. I liked the sound of the opening chords with open strings, and just put a 12-bar structure around them.

Bim,

Nice classic blues feel here. I quickly got into a foot tap haha. I too like that opening. Really creates some anticipation. The long hold/solo is also a nice touch. Nice job! I enjoyed this.

Self-Inflicted Blues

Written by Bim Walker

I get these blues, I made them all by myself
I get these blues, you know I made them all by myself
I can get mad at the world but I can’t blame no-one else

Got me a woman, makes me happy every day
She makes me smile with all the nice things that she say
And I know I don’t deserve her but I’ll try to keep her anyway

You know it gets old, living inside my head
Having to look at all the things I done and said
Floating there like posters that you hang above your bed

I get these blues, I made them all by myself
I said I get these blues, I made them all by myself
I get mad at the world but I can’t blame no-one else
