The Old Calahan

[Primeira Parte]

 E              A          D             A
Last night when I felt so lonely and so blue
A                  D
I was playing that old time blues
      A               E
The blues of old Calahan.
              A       D              A
Well, he was born in Kentucky, far away
                      D
He would be soon the famest man
    A    E     A
Kentucky ever knew

   A
I took my guitar and my old country fiddle
  D                     A        E
Played me a song of the old Calahan.
   A
He once was a star in the days of the union
D        A             E        A
We all know him as the old Calahan.

 E            A            D            A
Well, he was poor with no penny to his name
  A                    D
There was sorrow and there was pain
     A              E
But no-one was to blame.
            A            D             A
He went to town, just a guitar in his hands
                    D
He made fortune and he got fame
    A       E         A
At last he made the grade.

Just play it like I do.
