Well, my truck broke down this morning on the freeway
D               D
Somewhere between here and where I'd been
G                                       D7
And I lost my favorite lady last night in a card game
     A                         D
She stacked the deck so I couldn't win.



              D7             G
And now I'm lost and lonesome
   A                        D
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
                   D7             G
Now I'm lost and lonesome
  A                                     D
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.


G                                    D7
There's an old piano playin' on the jukebox
D               D
And a steel guitar just beggin' me to cry
G                                       D7
And those barroom ladies smilin' by the dozen
   A                                D
Just so they can tear my heart out one more time.




              D7             G
And now I'm lost and lonesome
   A                        D
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
                   D7             G
Now I'm lost and lonesome
  A                                     D
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.



G                                   D7
Well, there's a brighter side to everything I'm saying
D                          D
There's a silver lining somewhere down the line
G                                      D7
But I sure ain't seen that brighter side lately
   A                                   D
I'll be damned if I'll believe that lining shines.



              D7             G
And now I'm lost and lonesome
   A                        D
Down so low I've got-ta reach up to tie my shoes
                   D7             G
Now I'm lost and lonesome
  A                                     D
Livin' with a classic case of the blues.
