E                           A            E
This worn out old six-string has sure been a good friend
     A            E              F#7           B
It's never let me down, when my heart's on the mend
A           E          G#7            C#m
It's always willing to play one more song
  A       B          E      B
I feel a sad one coming on

[Verse 2]
     E                           A         E
Some dingy old barroom is where he used to turn
         A          E               F#7          B   B7
Till the bottle was empty, man that whisky would burn
     A          E               G#7            C#m
The life of the party, till his friends were all gone
  A       B         E
I feel a sad one comin' on

[Chorus]
    B7                       A             E
Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones
     A          E              B     B7
Keep pourin' me something real strong
        A            E
Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side
           G#7            C#m
Since the king of broken hearts died
      A       B             E      B
And I feel a sad one comin' on

[Verse 3]
     E                           A            E
Oh, the love of a woman, it saved Jones' life
     A            E              F#7           B
He put down the bottle, and he made her his wife
A           E          G#7            C#m
He'd tear your heart out, when he sang a song
      A       B             E
And I feel a sad one comin' on

[Chorus Outro]
    B7                       A             E
Oh, sing me the sad ones, I don't like the fast ones
     A          E              B     B7
I can't bear that he's really gone
        A            E
Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side
           G#7            C#m
Since the king of broken hearts died
      A       B             E      B
And I feel a sad one comin' on
        A            E
Oh, I'm drawn to the blue side
           G#7            C#m
Since the king of broken hearts died
      A       B                     E
And I feel a sad one comi-i-iii-ing on
