Still Got the Blues (For You) by Gary Moore

"Still Got the Blues (For You)" is a song by Northern Irish guitarist Gary Moore. It was originally released as the title track of the album Still Got the Blues.

 The song was released as a single and reached number 31 on the UK Singles Chart in May 1990.

 It is the only single of Moore's solo career to chart on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it reached number 97 on 16 February 1991.

  Gary Moore played his Les Paul Standard Guitar throughout the song. He also filmed a basic music video for the song.

The song was covered by Eric Clapton on his 2013 album Old Sock as a tribute to Moore following his death in 2011.

On 3 December 2008 a Munich, Germany court ruled that the guitar solo on the song plagiarized a 1974 instrumental recording called “Nordrach” (named after Nordrach, a small river in the central Black Forest) by the German progressive rock band Jud’s Gallery from Offenburg.

Gary Moore denied knowing of the song, due to its unavailability on record or CD at the time of studio work on his album; the court stated that the song could have been heard on the radio or in a live performance during that time. The court also stated that there was no evidence that the guitar solo was lifted from “Nordrach”, but copyright infringement does not depend on outright theft. Moore was ordered to pay Jürgen Winter, leader of Jud’s Gallery, an undisclosed amount in damages.

Lyrics:

… Used to be so easy to give my heart away
But I found out the hard way
There’s a price you have to pay
I found out that love was no friend of mine
I should have known time after time

… So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

… Used to be so easy to fall in love again
But I found out the hard way
It’s a road that leads to pain
I found that love was more than just a game
You’re playin’ to win, but you lose just the same

… So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

… So many years since I’ve seen your face
Here in my heart, there’s an empty space
Where you used to be

… So long, it was so long ago
But I’ve still got the blues for you

… Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I’ve still got the blues for you
