[Link to mp3 file above] I composed a new blues song in November of 2013, "Now That You've Gone." The blues ain't nothin' but a good man feelin' bad... My old rock and roll colleague, Chas Thomas, sang the vocal on the preliminary prototype recording above and played (electric) drums. I played electric bass, an accompanying single strike per measure rhythm guitar track and added a lead guitar track using a 1955 Les Paul with vacuum tube amplifier distortion. 

Chords and lyrics:

Now That You’ve Gone
Music and lyrics © Dalton Bentley 2013
Dm
Now that you’ve gone

A7
All that’s left is my empty fear

Dm
Made me wail that lonely song

A7    
Year after broken year

Gm/Gm7
Hold your brush to my face

Bb7                  F9
Recall your embrace

Gm7
Lie in the floor like a dog

A7                               Bb
Cryin’ for your sweet love
