II. Writing Lyrics The 12 bar blues typically follows the AAB structure (First line repeated even if slightly changed) followed by concluding line. he A and B lines don't have to rhyme, nor have the same number of syllables. For example, W. C. Handy's "St. Louis Blues" I hate to see the evening sun go down, Yes, I hate to see that evening sun go down 'Cause it makes me think I'm on my last go 'round So, select a theme, for example something that has impacted your life - i.e. Alcohol, Love Lost, Memories, etc. Decide on a beat (rhythm)...tap it out as you hum the lyrics. You're on the way to writing a blues song. If you have a guitar or piano (keyboard), find a key that sounds good - minor keys are better for the blues. Example
