Poor Boy Blues
Mark Knopfler & Chet Atkins
Neck and Neck 1990
Here is a simple version of the
opening tune to Neck and Neck.
I haven't included all lap steel parts as you
can probably get these yourself.

But I aint' got nothing that you can use
So I'm sitting on my own here
with these poor boy blues
One day baby you will see

love to me
I'm the one babe
that you're gonna choose
but in the meantime
I got these poor boy blues
