 There’s a lot of picking the high strings throughout the whole song (especially
 the * chords), some strumming at other moments, just listen to the song and you’ll figure it out.
 Wonderful tune, hope you’ll enjoy it.
I'm  in the kitchen, my  baby's in the hall
I'm  in the kitchen, my  baby's in the hall
I'm  in the kitchen, baby's  in the hall
She  won't speak to  me at all
 'Cause ya  know we  got, we  got the separation blues.
See  that fly  - crawlin'  up the wall
See  that fly  - crawlin'  up the wall
See  that fly - crawlin' up  the wall
He  won't speak to Miss Spider  at all
 'Cause ya  know they  got, they  got the separation blues.
When  you kick your baby out of bed
 Because she won't treat you  nice
When  you feel mistreated, well,
Buddy  take my advice.
Leave  that woman and  leave her quick
Leave  that woman and  leave her quick
Leave  that woman and leave  her quick
Or  else she'll have you  on a stick
 It's  better to  leave and  get some separation blues.
Adam  ate the  apple  which Eve did thieve,
Adam  ate the  apple  which Eve did thieve,
Adam  ate the apple which Eve  did thieve,
The  Lord said, "Adam,  you got to leave"
 Well that  thieve gave  him, gave  him the separation blues.
The  last words  that John  the Baptist said,
The  last words  that  John the Baptist said,
The  last words that John the Baptist  said,
Just  before he  lost his head,
 "This  gives me,  gives me,  gives the separation blues."
This  goes to prove since time began
 What those women do to men;
It's  better to buy than to be sold
To  the gutter for a bottle of gin
If  she don't  treat you  like you think she should,
If  she don't  treat you  like you think she should,
If  she don't treat you like you think  she should,
Your  services ain't no longer  no good
 It's  time you  got a  dose of separation
 It’s  time you  got a  dose of seperation blues.
